Has anyone else noticed that for a problem with boatbuilding is the
feedback loop? That is to say that it could be anywhere from weeks to
years to see if something works in a given application. Then I guess it
depends on the application how long is good enough...

Just a random thought that occurred to me.

That is why techniques and methods in boat building have always been
relatively slow to change. I just have to trust my designer's
experience and try to follow his instructions as closely as possible.

I have given a lot more thought to the personal learning curve problem.
Somehow I always seem to get reasonably good at something like
glassing or wiring just about the time I finish that particular job and
then have to start over at the bottom again.
