Hit by ship maybe? Sailed off into the sunset?

(in article Qx7xh.4117$h75.3974@trnddc01): I skippered a Bowman 57 for a # of years and the owner wanted to gunkhole out towards the canadian border up a deep when the tide was i but a little narrow when it was out "fiord". On the way out in the morning in dense fog using the radar and loran we tore the side of the keel open on a ledge. All of a sudden there was this loud hissing sound. After a thorough and quick inspection I determined that we had ripped the holding tank open. They built them into the keel on that boat. Owner left and I spent ten days at hinckly yard. Damage repaired. -- Mundo, The Captain who is a bully and an ass Bowman 57 wow nice boat! NH_/)_ www.sailirc.net Great Boat. I did to full (back and forth) trans atlantics and up and down east coast a dozen times. One of my favorite charges... I have only captained one other boat I would rather own. Nordhavn 62. I did a delivery to the V.I's Last year. Wow. Mini ship! -- Mundo, The Captain who is a bully and an ass |

I seem to remember that a yacht held a dinghy, a boat held a yacht, and a ship carried a boat. I'm sure that is wrong but you get the idea. -- Mundo, The Captain who is a bully and an ass |

I'm sure that is wrong but you get the idea. -- This is what I found then I also found that the cutoff is 100ft then its a small ship so who knows Used to be a 3 masted, square rigged vessel was a ship, in the 19th C. Prior to that description may have had lots to do with the hull of the vessel distinguishing from a Flyut, a Cat, Frigate, or Sloop ( all of them could have been square rigged on 3 masts - from the 17th to 18th cent. Ships were technically classed if they were powered, and the means of propulsion, ( MV ( motor vessel ) vs SS, ( Steam Ship) and many MVs are large cargo carriers that would be categorized as a ship in addition to being tow boats, or tug boats and a wide number of other types as well. Of late FV denotes a fishing vessel . The British Navy rated their ships by not just rig but also by decks and the number of guns they carried, thus a 3 masted square rigged single decked vessel is technically a sloop. A two decked vessel would be a frigate. or maybe not. and then you get into the rates, 6th rate, 5th rate, and so on. I guess its a matter of size and power but I have often wondered -- NH_/)_ www.sailirc.net |

"sailirc" wrote how's Neal tonight Are you talking about the world famous mariner Captain Neal? He's probably doing pretty good. I'm sure a man like that everything he touches turns to gold. I emailed him a bunch of times as but he never answers. I even signed his guest book http://www.homestead.com/~site/Scrip...V=2&H_U=164271 with a link to a photo of me but he never answered. I guess he's out sailing someplace and his his hands full with his crew. They're prettier than me, I hate to admit. :-( Cheers, Ellen |
