LOA (Length Over All) is a measurement from the tip of the bow, around the
edge of the deck - as in toerail - , to the edge of the stern). LOD (Length
Over Deck) is the straight line measurement you describe.

Therefore, two 30' yachts, one with a 12' beam and the other with a 10' beam
will have different LOD's!

I hate to say this but deep breath Neal is right and you are wrong.

LOA is a straigh-line measurement, including things like bowsprits and
sugarscoop sterns. It is what it calls itself: overall length. That's
what can make it differ from LOD, which is also a straight-line
measurement but of the deck only, not including things like bowsprits.

LWL (load waterline) is also a straight-line measurement.

So, in your example, two 30' boats with different beams will have
identical measurements for LOD *and* for LOA, assuming neither has a
bowsprit or other appendage which would add to the LOA. For example,
if both were 30' LOD but one had a sugarscoop transom, that one would
have a longer LOA than the one without the sugarscoop.

No he has a domestic cat, and a rack in his torture chamber.

I'm sure the ASPCA will catch up with him eventually.

Actually, my youngest feline is lilac-point Siamese with very long bones. Stretched out
(on the rack) he's well over 3 feet.

I'm jealous. I would really like a Siamese (sealpoint). I had a queen years ago and she was the neatest cat...yarled a lot
and liked to eprch and did the leg attack thing from behind the couch...she would even walk on a leash.

Coronado 27 faster than I thought.
 

she was used for club racing and won
most every race in sight)

I'd hate to see the rest of the fleet.

I think one of the fleet was recently used in an attempted crossing from
Cuba.

When a system is set up to accomplish some goal, a
new entity has come into being--the system itself.
No matter what the "goal" of the system, it
immediately begins to exhibit system behavior; that
is, to act according to the general laws that govern
the operation of all systems. Now the system itself
has to be dealt with.
