So Simple,

We should use Lead Keels, so as not to damage the rocks that we hit?:^)

I'm truly amassed at your logic. Are you trying to say the foce that
deforms the keel isn't felt by the hull? g Think about it, using your
own anology. The blow is to soften the blow on the surface of the struck
object. The force on arm,hand and hammer is still the same.

Lord,Simple, you can really get your mind rapped and a point in the
strangest, dumbest ways

Jon,

What you're doing is correct and necessary to prevent the keel bolts
from working. I not saying a bolt on keel isn't any good, it is just
that they must be looked after.

Award yourself with three taps to the head with a soft lead hammer.

Jax said real mechanics don't use hammers.

Ever do any mechanic work? Have you ever used a brass
hammer to say align a crankshaft that is pinned and
pressed together? The brass hammer head deforms
while the crankshaft counterweight does not. Very
small movement of the counterweights can be attained
instead of the large, uncontrolled movement that would
knock the crankshaft out of alignment on the opposite
side of the spectrum.

This control and the fact the brass hammer is used because
it is soft and does not damage the structure of the crankshaft
as a steel hammer would is analogous to the forces applied
on the hull of a boat if its keel hits an unmovable object.

The same principle applies to a lead keel. The
mass of lead, of course, is the primary consideration
but the softness of the lead to cushion a blow is another
consideration and makes lead a superior material to
cast iron in addition the lead's extra mass.

It is hard for me to believe you've been in the yachting
field very long or done much reading to speak of without
knowing this very obvious and widely known fact.

It's heavier but is it soft enough to cushion possible
impacts with the sea bottom? Since it is used to pierce
armor I've got a feeling it is pretty stout stuff.

S.Simon

Cushion?
WTF are you talking about?


You know, when a sailor runs into a rock or other
hard object on the bottom - maybe a coral head
it is said that lead, being soft, will cushion the
blow by deforming and absorbing some of the
force thus sparing the structure of the yacht.

Bwaaahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa!
Cappy that rates among the most idiotic things that you've ever
written!!


It did not originate with me but I can see the logic of it.

Your reaction, on the other hand, is illogical.

S.Simon

Cappy could you fill me in on how much cushioning I could expect from
say a 4 ton lump of solid lead and how it would achieve that
cushioning?

First the idiot Oz and now you. Oh well . . .

Lord but you people are daft! Allow me to do a little
experiment on your jaw, you silly old fart. Let me
punch you in the jaw with my fist in a boxing glove.

Then, when you regain consciousness, and rub
your sore jaw allow me to hit it again my balled
up fist without the glove. Whereas all you lost
with the fist in glove is consciousness what you
lose with my balled up fist is consciousness
plus a broken jaw.

Your hull is your jaw. The lead keel is my fist in a
glove. The cast iron keel is my balled up fist.
Understand now you putz?

You too, Oz you weenie.

I've been in yachting long enough to know that what you ascert is
total fiction, an old wives tale.

Negative! It's not fiction. It's physics. You are trying
to rewrite the laws of physics. To the loony bin with
you.

Hey Cappy, how about I smack you over the head with a solid 2"lead
bar then do the same with a steel one.

Simp's correct Thom. Think of the rock as the hammer. Try hitting an
anvil 100 times with a 20lb steel sledge, then do it with a 22lb plastic or
rubber hammer.
