Time Bandit of Most Dangerous Catch - Flat Bottom
Surprised me, but then I'm not a naval architect or experienced enough
to know better. Not much detail, but should be interesting to most boaters. http://www.boattest.com/VLibrary/vPlay.aspx?ID=2048 --Vic |

Further, flat bottom boats roll less. |

But maybe nobody clicks on the links. And that. :) |

But maybe nobody clicks on the links. And that. :) Too bad. Thought stuff about boats could be of interest. But I recall some discussions from these links, so some here must have signed up. I think what fooled me is that though I've restored my system a few times since I first signed up, I never had to log in. Must be the way Boatest handles the cookie. It'a a decent site, but top heavy with big power boats, and they marketeers.. They do sometimes have pieces that I find interesting. Here's another one, about the importance of having a compass. Nice boating vid. http://www.boattest.com/Resources/vi...px?NewsID=3822 If you can't link, well, hell, just get lost! --Vic |
