Wooden boats aren't tuned like glass boats. If you
tighten all those puppies up they will push the mast
into
the keel and start some impressive leaking. Been
there
done that...


Shrouds? Shrouds?? What are they???


Strings that go up along the sides of a boat. They can
be
very handy for hanging doodads and other thingamabobs
on, such as belaying pins and ratlines. Can be made
more
interesting with the application of baggywinkle:)


His boat hasn't any...the sticks just sit there all on

their lonesome.....

at least he has sticks... :o



...that's ok...she attached the baggywinkle to her hat
until they step their sticks...makes for interesting
conversation when you go anywhere with her...


Just to round things off the engine is still sitting on the
sole of my saloon:(

You can admire it there better than in a dingy old engine room....

what I never understand is why beginner's buy a big boat
first instead of going up the ladder in an organized fashion, learning
along the way...I know that that takes time and energy, buying and
selling boats, but they could lease with another couple or
something...buying "the" boat first just creates unnecesarry angst and
often destroys the desire...

katy,

I agree completely. Anyone with your sort of experience
knows "how to do it". But many people unfortunately,
don't know "how to do it" and end up with more boat than
they can handle. The outcome is either hilarious or tragic.

Haggie, these were very loose. How would you recommend
they be adjusted? I'd welcome your opinion.
