Alas, we've sold our conqueror, so I can't measure one for you. The simpler answer is "as long as you like". If I remember the part correctly from your description, if you attach the "connectors",...

I am curious if a copy of the original plans came with the boat? I've done a lot of research on the 16s, 24s and 27s, but alas, after a conversation with Ted Brewer, it seems that most of the...

Mickey, I remember HOLLANDIA (NED-1) was built for the worlds in (I think it was) 2005. Might have been 2006, but I think '05. She is a Doug Peterson design. I think there was another built around...

There was a boat in post 6?

Bare teak decks, varnished kingplank and topsides... if you can maintain. Else, Gunsmoke Blue.

Shall we go the other way, and discuss the difference between belaying and making fast?

What then is the opposite of belay, and the opposite of making fast?

Better Barnstable County than Barbour County (LST 1195). Talk about a bad day to be a SWO.

BadElf makes a GPS dongle for those iDevices without an integral GPS.

Call the guys at Claudia's. they have some great rum running stories in Greenport.

Jay,
I couldn't agree with you more. I've used Star10 on everything from a boat to a piano. Flat out, it just works.

Jay, I don't dispute that bloxygen works. On the other hand, no room in the container for anything but the liquid varnish would seem to isolate the mix from oxygen as well. Just another way of...

According to google translate, the latin word for bouyancy is "Hilaritudo".

The word can also be used for "exhilaration, mirth, joyfulness, merriment, and jollity".

Thus, hilaritudophilia.

Yes. But a 16 as it pitches up would put the bottom of the bird on the runway. Not an issue when you have all that strip in front of you, huge issue when you're starting to pitch and you're still...

Exactly! The extra strength the tailhook requires adds weight. Energy/Maneuver Theory accounts for the rest of the problem.

On top of that, an F-16 couldn't handle a cat launch either. Even if...

And this is just one of the many reasons that it was fairly easy to make the F-4 a ground based plane, and exceedingly difficult to make the F-16 a sea based plane.

It depends on the goal. Cooler running is better for the engine, but increases the production of NOx.

Exactly. Even if not curved, as you close the hatch, you could rotate the strut parallel to the hatch, and you wouldn't need to put socks on the strut.

The curve/thumbscrew method might work, is...

Would it not do what you want, if a pivot was at the top?

I have a small ladle I use to get varnish out of the can. Keeps the rim quite clean.

Actually, I was on something that looked like that second one back in '87. It has a "wing sail" of sorts that sits behind the "rider".

As for how well it worked, well... you're not exactly...

Best way is to dyno it, because without knowing cam/compression/jets/et al, you're making the assumption that everything is stock and the way it came out of Mexico.

That said, will this help?...

I'm no expert... and I'd like Jay to weigh in on this one, if he can:

Would not S/Y (Sailing Yacht) be more fitting?

I actually prefer Course Up, but I believe that's because I'm used to Land Nav, where I'm always spinning the map (i.e. Orienting it).
