Thanks. Good corrections. You're right about all of them. We are

new to the whole sailing thing, and without looking it all up I

wanted to
respond to Horvath's brilliant answer to what kind of boat was in

the movie
(a sailboat--duh! followed by the "probably a sloop" thing that

exposed even
more ignorance than we have about sailboats). The good thing about
ignorance is that it can be corrected with study. Stupidity lasts

a
lifetime.


You didn't say which boat.

BTW, I thought I did pretty good for never seeing the movie.


Riiiight, so I guess the boat in Titanic was "probably a sloop"?

You could say that, in the same way that "Horvath is probably a mammal."

Actually, the Titanic was a schooner.
