    Hello ladies and gems..........pardon my french....
    I was wondering with all the brilliant N.A. and designer, shipbuilder or old shipwright might have the heart to tell me who design and made the cats for the movie WATERWORLD........... ?

    Is it a movie trick version or the geniune item does exist....?

    Many Thanks and Thousand apalogies for starting a thread that is boring...

    CHEER

    I was refering to the vessel that he drove like an agile monkey..........

    Is that very vessel had a website or anybody know the theory of sail interchangable to unidirectional metal frame drive?
