Interesting Video. New nautical term "barking"


"Barking" is a nautical term: its the process of treating canvas sails
with tree bark as a presevative. Each village would have its own large
caldron and "secret formula" for the annual treatment of sails and other
canvas. Now its mainly just a memory in "tanbark" sails for classic boats.
