It's not rocket science, and anybody trying it with a hammer is friggin

dunce who should not be allowed near a boat.


You have to wonder if Doug even knows what a hammer looks like. Hammers
used by surveyors are tiny. Some use little wood hammers, mallets and
so on...all HAMMERS.
Doug, you're an idiot. I actually work with surveyors. You own a
trawler.

But let's take it a bit further to PROVE how dumb and full of it Doug
is!

Hammer: 1 a : a hand tool consisting of a solid head set crosswise on a
handle and used for pounding.

Gosh...do surveyors use hammers or is that Doug's head that's
solid!!!???

Good job, Doug! You're so eager to attack that you've exposed yourself
again.

Nice try, Scotty Potty. But you can't save doug. He got caught full of
crap yet again. Surveyors use hammers. Period. I have a Phenolic
hammer. Look it up.

I propose a separate thread where we common sailors can ask the experts like
yourself... questions regarding sail vessels and things nautical.

To begin....

What method is commonly utilized to check for bad timber on wooden vessels?

The "Jack London" pen knife test. Push the pen knife into the timber or
planking with the flat of the palm. If the blade enters the wood more
than 1/8 inch before your palm hurts, she's not worth a damn.
Move along little doggy!

Thank You.... now could you tell me the best method to remove black mold
from the headliner in a cabin?

There are several varieties of mold that leave blackish marks. I've had
good luck using Clorox spray with bleach, BUT protect any other areas
as the bleach can leave light marks. If your headliner is fabric and
white you can try the same approach. Colored (tan) headliners are often
stained for good. Always spot test of course.

Please Bart..... although you have a vast knowledge of practical sailing
experience..... these questions are posed to "experts" and deal with
"survey" related issues as well as general "vessel condition and
assessment."

I think you should acquiese to Bob's superior knowledge in these matters.
