I've wondered what the new product lines are doing these days. Of
course, there's a lot of styling changes from the days (1983) of what
my ChrisCraft was built. But was wondering if anyone was coming up with
any new theories on V-hulls to make production and/or cruising more
efficient?

George Micheal has been picked up for 'cruising' in public
toilets....are these V-hulls OK for efficient toilet cruising?

LOL! maybe the answer is in "Jewsweek" But then again, only Fred
could answer that one.


It must be hard for Fred to live in a country where there is only one
newspaper and no internet to have a look at what other countries are
reporting.....his trolling belongs in the toilet.


Exactly.
A local company I have done some work with are doing well building
'Super Yachts'.

A bit out of many people price range, but if you have the cash, they
would be 'recreational' to say the least.

I must comment that their styling is an interesting study.
Non-traditional as of to say, but really quite beautiful.

What do you do for Fitzroy?

just curious.



I was seconded to them from the company I work for, as a draughtsman, to
draw up some pressure vessels.....nice simple stuff compared to what the
yacht drafties had to draw up!.....all those curves.....

I got to look over the 'Zulu' before it was launched. It made me feel
like a third world peasant with all that luxury.

I'll have to wait for my next life before I can hope to get into one of
them!.......until then, it's recreational motorcycles.....

That's like the story of Louis Chevrolet being a designer for GM's
Buick Motor Division.

He broke away from Buick and started making his own, with a quote.

"Here I was, designing cars [Buick] that I myself couldn't afford."

Interesting......but there is a big difference between designing and
draughting. I just draw what they think will work, then draw it all
again when they find out the 'details' don't fit.

I'd never make a sailor anyway, I don't like the sea (or any deep
water). Even ferry crossings give me the jitters! Too many jaws movies
and reality footage of boats going down in cold water.......

Draughting? Did you man drafting? Driving? I'm confused.

Seeing that Brian is from New Zeland, I'm sure that it is what we would
call "drafting".

I could be wrong, though.

Draughting?


yep, drawing up plans/layouts for piping and petro-chemical pressure
vessels.



Did you man drafting?


No, thats the sorting of livestock into different groups.




Driving?


No, thats either the herding livestock or operating a vehicle.



I'm confused.



LOL...... I can't help with personal problems.
