Are these "ribs" _just_ wood, or are they formers that are then
glassed in?

Nick, I would HEARTILY recommend you check out the geodesic boat site at
www.gaboats.com
before you get past your ankle there ;-)
It certainly sounds as though you haven't "got" the concept. Not 'ffense, or
anything, just an observation.

Sorry. Don't get ya.

Yeah I had looked but did not pick up on the diagonals. I also did not
pick up that it's not glassed, but shrink-wrapped...hhhmmmm... ok.

hmmmm...I would be careful on the Web. "nothing personal" is easy for
_you_ to decide when you say it, smiley or not. G

But I take your point. And thanks for correcting me. Nobody else
seemed to think my misguided efforts worth guiding.

De nada. I once got to the "up to my knee" stage before realising what was
going on. Not a pretty sight, or feeling.

Ah! Yes. My best one was here, where they started talking about using
windmill on a boat to sail straight upwind. After I was allowed to
make a complete idiot of myself for a while, I was informed to treat
it as being like a boat tacking constantly. I slunk away. But I DID
come back and admit my error!

I don't think it was going to be _that_ bad here. But it wouldn't want
to be.

Heehee - I remember that one. A classic. ;-)
