Yup. Down here in the Southern Pacific we don't know a lot about boat
building. Well apart from building boats that won the Americas Cup
twice and losing it to a Swiss team of New Zealanders.
Having a multibillion dollar small shipbuilding industry.
And as for sailing: well apart from the "Royal Akarana" and other
sailing races and having an Offshore Masters certificate from my
commercial fishing days I'm totally ignorant of ships :-)
Oh and I better tell you that helping build a Mullet taught me nothing
about boatbuilding !
Sheesh

Sorry, George, but you point just whooshed past me.

Do you want to continue the cross-posting that has yielded nothing (at least
nothing benlizross wanted), or do you wish it to stop?

Or, are you simply trying to tell me that NZ is a great boat and ship-building
nation, in which case you could have saved you breath, since I knew that
already.

As much as I'm not given to insulting people I shall, in this one
case' make an exception !
Yes I thought it might but then I do not often have to reduce my
language to an 8 year old reading level!

I'm sorry but what part of 'this is not a crosspost' eludes you ?

All this started when Yuri crossposted into your group in the faint
hope that you would all spring to his defence..

Well, if you can't explain what your point was, I guess I missed nothing.

The part where it never was posted?

And no-one did. We merely asked the crossposting to stop because the juvenile
arguing was interfering with _our_ juvenile agruing. ;-)
