I occasionally forget that you know absolutely nothing about
yachts
and make up terms to use when you don't know the correct one.

Take 'window' for example, and 'roof' and 'floor' and
'downstairs' etc

to be
proven wrong again. Let me know...I have the file.

Manuals are written for the lowest common denominator. They
assume you
can't name the parts of the boat.

MacGregor does that in their manuals too.
