Function of a leeboard on a flatbottemd ship
Bouler added these comments in the current discussion du jour ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeboard Bouler, certainly no offense intended for you, but I do not use Whacopedia because it is a "people's encyclopedia" which can be modified by anyone with no editorial oversight to ensure accuracy, thus I cannot be sure when reading definitions if they are, in fact, correct or if the author has some sort of "agenda". In this case, since I know so little, I'm sure I wouldn't spot any errors but I have seen many, many when researching subjects with which I am familiar and knowledgeable. As to the def of "leeboard", I thought your informal one was quite good. -- HEMI - Powered, aka Jerry "You've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a ****!" |

OTOH I can understand you but a lot of wikipedia gives you a first impression, I learnd a lot on several pages.. BTW every encyclopedia is made by people;-) -- Greetings Bouler (The Netherlands) |

BTW every encyclopedia is made by people;-) Please be aware that my point was and is, Bouler, that the problem with Whackopedia is that there is NO editorial overight as with a commercial, published encyclopedia or a moderated NG. Please also recall that I said that since my nautical knowledge is so limited, and your explaination was so good, that I can hardly detect an error in the reference you cited. But, I HAVE discovered factual errors in it ranging from cars to IT to American and world history to politics to medicine to about anything I've ever looked at when I get a Google hit and I'm already knowledgeable enough to know what is and is not correct. This is rather simple to do, as I easily can with the Mopar NG, allpar.com, which is just rife with errors, some so egregious as to hurt my eyes coming from a site supposedly the authority on Chrysler engineering and performance. -- HP, aka Jerry "You've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a ****!" |

I know exacly what you mean Jerry and there are so many sites about everything with different views. But a fact is a fact , on several pagen I know what the facts should be but my knowledge is also limited. -- Greetings Bouler (The Netherlands) |

I did say, didn't I, that YOU know your boats like I know my cars and if you say that wiki is Okey, Dokey here, I will certainly take your word for it. I do hope, though, that you at least see where my skepticism comes from ... -- HP, aka Jerry "You've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a ****!" |
