Where Are The Women

[Wynand N]

Hi everyone :)

Are there any women in this forum :?: Or are we just a bunch of MCP's?

Women are quite active in other forums (Cruisers Forum comes to mind). Surely we can do with a few of them around, always nice to have a womans perspective as well, even how crooked it may be.

Now that you bring it up, I don’t think I have ever run into any women in the business of design except for Charles Street’s daughter who worked at S & S. Are any women attending the schools of yacht design such as the Landing School or YDI in Maine.?

[MikeJohns]

This is an issue we often talk about in enginnering circles. But due to the reverberations of the 80's feminist movement it's considered bad form to highlight differences between the ability of sexes. It seems that it's suddenly OK to talk about this with a number of recently released books such as "Brain sex.." and "The difference..."

It's got something to do with the physiological differences in the brains between men and women. The male brain is considerably better at 3d mental perception (tests suggest up to 25 % better). The term "spacial ability " that refers to the brains ability to model complexity, leads to mens dominance of fields such as music composure, chess, complex 3d engineering design.

It's not that women can't do it, it's just that men find it naturally easier due to brain physiology. Our society naturally favours the more gifted in any discipline so we end up dominating certain fields.

[safewalrus]

Bone idol (delibrate mis-spell) more like! Make of that as you wish

[kach22i]

You mean you want to introduce females to the forum?

the organised and forced harassment through female seductresses:eek:

You have to read the Penguin thread to get the joke.:p

[safewalrus]

Hell no! Pity the poor bloody penguin! maybe there wern't enough girls to go round = in a german zoo, no chance it would be just right:confused: :p

[Matt Lingley]

Have to say there is some real hot french and italian chicks on the yacht design course I'm on... The ultimate chat up line is 'I've got the use of *boat name* this saturday, any of you girls fancy a sail?'. You just can't beat sailing on a sunny day with three fine young ladies on a quick sportsboat...

Hmmm can I rub that in anymore?

[gonzo]

Some of us retreat to sea from the wench at home:rolleyes:

[boltonprofiles]

I am with you on that Gonzo, have done for years, mind you Matt Lingley's idea sounds good to me............

[boltonprofiles]

On second thoughts I don't want to do that as I would then have to kiss the wife goodbye................

[safewalrus]

It's this wench bit that worries me gonzo, were i come from wenchs tend to be the pretty ones of the species! Or are you like our heir apparant? ditch a beautiful princess to marry a dragon! As they say in Yorkshire 'there's nowt so queer as folks':D

[gonzo]

OH, OH, my manhood has been questioned.
Seriously, though, there isn't always an indication of gender. For all we know, there are many women in the forum that prefer not to advertize it. I think in the new generation of sailors, there are a lot more girls than they used to be. They are also more participating in active roles instead of just going for the ride.

[safewalrus]

Gonzo, that final sentance really has me confused :confused: - "more participating in active roles instead of just going for the RIDE!" That plus the comment as about boys seems very interesting and thought provoking!:eek:

And with that in mind if you were a girly would you admit it??:rolleyes:

[gonzo]

Firstly, I make a very ugly girly. Secondly, women used to be mostly either passangers or "first mate". That is changing(the second part only)

[safewalrus]

whew glad about that Gonzo! Mind you sailed with a woman 'Captain' comercially some years back - intersting to note that the 'Captain' of a merchant vessel is called a 'Master' the feminine of which is 'Mistress' reakoned she wernt one of those (her words! Mmmmm):rolleyes:

[maddyfish]

How do you know they're not here already?

[trouty]

Wahoo OWman hasn't been here since - ohh - '98 was it?..

Course 'Cactus Kate' showed up for all of 5 minutes....before the whiff of my testosterone got her all uppitty and she shot thru! :D ;)

I dunno _ I reckon thats half the appeal of this place - juts like escaping to sea to get away from she who must be obeyed - you can skive off to Boat design.net and get away from 'her indoors' (previously referred to as "she who mistakenly thinks she wears the pants!").

Soo..

Do we really want the wimmin in the industry? or here for that matter!

Now if it was the hot little number that paddles the blue canoe past my place every morning - then all bets are off - and I saw her first!:p

Cheers!

[cheoylee]

I'm a woman and will be enrolling at the Landing School next term (for Boatbuilding, not design). Got to say- the marine industry smacks of a boys' club-wish there were some more women in the industry.

[safewalrus]

So do we (well some of us anyway, the rest just talk like women!)

[Wellydeckhand]

All boat and ship is a SHE anyway so dont u start leaving all the lady alone he......:)

[marshmat]

Got the same problem in engineering... no matter how much we try to get the program to appeal to the females, they never make up more than 25% of the class. Not sure why... the ones we do have are all quite talented. Ah well...

[Wellydeckhand]

hai.....eer yes mate.....HIC*** too much spirit within a women...HIC***....:p

[boltonprofiles]

Marshmat - how are you buddy?:) - the few women I have come across in the industry are all really good engineers, think it is something to do with the fact that women have to be 1.5 times as good as the normal male in the first place to be put into senior positions, which is not an attemp at my opinion of what is right, just an observation of fact. I think it also has to do with their right to take mega time off when the kids come along which is hard from an employer's point of view regardless of what anyone says if they want to take up this option.
Fair play to them I say and good luck.....

[safewalrus]

erm, Bolton' I presume that the wife was looking over thy shoulder when you penned your last post, mate!:rolleyes:

Good thing about women at sea, as I remember was the fact that when the 'old man' said "that female third mate needs f******" he meant it! :rolleyes: But I suppose that ain't wot you meant was it!

[boltonprofiles]

Did you notice that everything I said was mega 'politically correct' there Walrus - well spotted........

[Vega]

That's a very nice drawing:) Does that guy also design boats:?: I want to see those curves in a boat:cool: .

[safewalrus]

Yipster
thats taking unfair advantage of an old man (I will be by the time i've finished looking at ........

drool

[yipster]

Does that guy also design boats I want to see those curves in a boat
i had thoughts along those lines also :cool:
3d boats (http://www.turbosquid.com/Search/Index.cfm?FuseAction=ProcessSmartSearch&blKeepCheck=y&blShowCategorySelect=true&intCategory1=20088&intMediaType=2) and architecture we can play with also, all virtual that is :rolleyes:

[cheoylee]

And once again, y'all are wondering why there aren't more women in the field. hmmm....

[seadogs20]

As an equl oppurtunity employer, I have found that the ladies who work for me, are by far,the better workers. More conscientious than there counter parts and more loyal.....funny that?

[seadogs20]

But the war office is a pain in the a#@e....

[safewalrus]

Cheoylee,

Please remember "dirty old men need love too",

:) well this one does!:D

[boltonprofiles]

Vega and Yipster - did you mean to say you wanted to see all those curves in a boat - or on a boat...................if you see what I mean.

[Vega]

Vega and Yipster - did you mean to say you wanted to see all those curves in a boat - or on a boat...................if you see what I mean.
,
Hummm...if I really reply to you, Cheoylee is going to say that we are just a bunch of chauvinist males...so I would say that I love beautiful curves everywhere and anywere in and out of the boat (I drive a MR2...plenty of curves for a car).

[M&M Ovenden]

Hi guys, I must aswell come out of the dark. Women read this forum.
I'm a women, I design, I build and I sail. I went to school in mechanical engineering technologies with a bunch of guys, worked in shops with guys, hang out with guys. What I learnt ? Avoid any comments when men start talking about women. Watch,listen, stay entertained.
I think that's what I'll keep doing.

Murielle

[seadogs20]

Murielle, congrats!!! out of the closet...well done :)

[seadogs20]

Next!!

[Wellydeckhand]

Mmmmm................Any Lesbian out of the closet yet.........would be great improvement.:):):)

[safewalrus]

Vega - polite as ever I see! And whats this another little lady we are getting popular, could this be a take over?

They'll start talking about babies next (which is good I've been one for years, tried this grown up thingand didn't like it!)

Luckily for you welly I too have lesbian tendancies (figure that one out if you can!?!)

[Wellydeckhand]

Luckily for you welly I too have lesbian tendancies (figure that one out if you can!?!)[/QUOTE]

Yes How true.............:p Walrus in England....... tend to bang double in bed:D :D :D .....and wanna everybody guessing about it:!:

A normal guy should act normal:p :p :p ........... unless a crazy old guy with a fish for a name turn up with their tendancies :D :D :D he......X100

[boltonprofiles]

Welly - keep it clean - there are ladies present.............god bless them

[safewalrus]

Typical Indon. thick as poo! Try thinking real hard about what I said and it might, just might sink in! But I doubt it!

And pleeeeze for the sake of the ladies (and bolton :?: ) keep it clean - or as near clean as you can be :D

[boltonprofiles]

Vega - (I know this is a boat forum guys but grant me a little license to briefly reply about cars just for a second), the MR2 is nice but a little square and sporty for me, I have had a few Toyotas in the fleet and they are super reliable cars, I have a few cars but my favorite is without doubt the Jaguar for looks, now that has curves, not the best car in the world but completely beautiful to my mind, and yes, I think it looks like a stunningly beautiful woman, I just wonder which boat resembles most the timeless elegance and quality of the breed, the sound, the quality every time you close the door............what do you think?

[boltonprofiles]

Have you seen Michael Kasten's car design at www.kastenmarine.com by the way.............

[Vega]

Just once, not to be unpolite, let's talk about cars: Yes I agree with you, the Sports Jaguar is a nice looking car...even if I would gladly exchange it by an old E type, the one from the late 60's...now, that one is a timeless beauty with lot of curves and all in the right place:

http://membres.lycos.fr/rvmarg99/telechar/jaguar_e_1024.JPG

About the Mr2, that's a complete different story. It was a car made by Toyota engineers as a work study in their own time, not a production car and it happened that, at that time, Toyota was just interested in putting a more sporty look to its image (Formula 1 and all) and surprisingly has produced a car that is completely atypical from its "normal" production. It’s really a sports car (central motor), with less than 1000kg and amazing brakes that can give you (in an open and deserted road mountain or on a track) a joy ride and lots of fun.
The car has an incredible number of after market pieces designed for it, that go from full body kits to turbos. Mine has tuned up chassis, TTE and Koni suspensions (and a lot more) and in some time it will have a TTE designed turbo - 0/100km/h in about 5s (TTE are the guys that make the Toyota F1). It is also an inexpensive car, at least before you start adding and modifying things, and it is not an uncomfortable one.

I also like its looks:

I don't really like his boats but they look very nice when compared with his car:D

Ok, I like this one, that has some resenblance...but this is an almost 70 years old car...

think it shows currage doing a car and gotto disagree, think his way of rendering is a bit odd and i see potential in kasten's car that has classic lines like this xk120 from jay leno's collection, sure the bugatti is rare and worth more

had a woman once that gave me more problems than this e-type but got wiser and today got a small suzuki alto, few girlfrends and a boat, i probably never get wise :D

Trust me - I'm from the govt and I'm here to help you! :D :D

Hmmm - so whattaya reckon?...

Maybe (for a laugh) we should ALL join up with their forums...

We would need first to agree on our pseudonyms so we each knew who we were, once we got there! (and didn't start trying to chat each other up by mistake!) Yuk! :eek: :eek: (My luck I'd end up with Yipster!);) :p

Hmmm, pseudonyms we can all recognise eh?

Bergalia = Bernice

Yipster = Yvonne

Safewalrus = Ceilia (Seal - walrus) :D

trouty = Tereesa Green (Trees are green - former forester!) ;)

Hmm, you can just imagine us lot getting away with joining a womens fishing group...can't you - how long do you reckon we would last?...before they were onto us? :confused:

I'd give us.....ohh maybe 2 minutes...or less!:D :D :cool:

So - what say you guys?
In for a penny, in for a pound?
Last man standing buys the drinks?:p

Hey - we could pretend we were all members of the downunder chapter of "Fishin Chicks"...wanting to affiliate with their organisation..

Hmm, the plot thickens! Any better idea's?

Cheers!

[safewalrus]

Hey guy's this is Ceilia this fishing things sounds fun, do you think they'd notice my mustache! (it's the Walrus thing)

[trouty]

Yup Yup - that and ya breath smelling of fish!:D :p

Hmmm - they sure do look like dolls don't they?

we definitley are NOT going there! (but yes I hear you!).

Rally the troops - I feel a raid on a womens fishing website building a head of steam! :D

Fishin Chicks downunder chapter...a charity dedicated to - raising funds for Women with hairy feet syndrome...:D :D

Hey maybe we need to load a bogus Fishn Chicks Charity Downunder web page as a cover for our story first... anyone good at web pages?

Hmm - i'm thinkin if we do this right.. we might last for - well maybe 3 minutes before they are onto us...is there a proper ettiquette for a womens fishing website forum?

Mabe I need to study up on this - by spyin on em a bit...before we blunder on in and wreck the joint! ;)

My luck. I'll trip on my high heels in the doorway!...maybe my cover story needs to be I'm the one recovering from an alcohol addiction - you get the be the gambling addict Celia....losing thousands at gin rummy down at the rsl club - not to mention the pokey machines your addicted too....Fishings your outlet to distract you away from gambling - while - Fishings to stop me drinkin - yeah, that'll work!:p

Cars?

Mine:
Porsche 1977 911S 2.7L CIS Silver Targa with about 100,000 miles on it.

MR-2, the car Porsche should be making - not SUV's.

[Wynand N]

nice curves in the pics;)

[Vega]

Hey Katch, in Europe the only place where you can drive in the freeway without almost falling asleep is in Germany, where there are no speed limits ...the Germans drive very well and the outside lane is almost always free.
People just pass the car in front and return to the other lane...almost all, except the guy in the Porsche SUV that didn't get out of my way. We rolled at about 190km/h when I saw in my mirror a real Porsche coming fast. I changed lane, let him pass and returned to the fast lane on his back. The real thing stayed on the back of the SUV for about 3 minutes and then, very slowly changed to the inside lane, passed the ugly thing, went to the fast lane....and made a huge burn out :D before disappearing in a cloud of smoke. I guess that the guy in the SUV got the message cause he finally got out of my way:cool:

[trouty]

Guys guys guys - opps that will have to become girls girls girls..:D

Yipster - halitosis is really bad breath! ;)

So - whos with us?

Any more helpful suggestions?...names for the rest of you?

Vega...= Vera

Wynand.. = Wynne

kach22i = Connie - yea short for connie - undrum! Connundrum, catch 22 get it!

Come on guys...lets get with this project!

Cheers!

[yipster]

was sort of serious bout that fishy houseboat in the key's

[trouty]

You wanna buy a fishy floating houseboat in the Florida Keys?

You have pictures?

Cheers!

[yipster]

first site (http://www.seabirdmarina.com/photos.htm)i found. got good memory's and thought thats what the girls were after?

There goes old man Bergalia the luckiest man in the world! Forgotten what a woman is! I'm sure he'll soon find out when his daughters want something OOH dad I must have, NOW, nag nag nag (luckily all mine are boys - the wife makes up for that on her own!):D :D

oh..just was walking aroud and decided to stop and say..here is another one woman on this site...i am, a young designer :-)
hi to everybody

[Bergalia]

Welcome Costa. But suggest for the time being you avoid this segment of the forum - it seems to be the 'rutting' season in the northern hemisphere - dialogue knee-deep in testosterone. Ageing seamen everywhere....:p

[seadogs20]

Hello Costa, Watch out for the scurvy dogs and you'll be fine :)

[Ari]

Wow..I had missed this thread..for so long.. just noticed it today..:) received an e-mail from ma friend title midnight girlfried..they make Lou Ferrigno the Hulk look humble..:eek: don't know either should them be clasified under female or others..:confused: not very sure..any of them around here or not..scary man..:D :D

Hello Costa
You are welcome. Which part of Russia? Are you working with commercial or private vessels?

Hello Costa, watch out for the sharks...................

[costa]

Hello Costa
You are welcome. Which part of Russia? Are you working with commercial or private vessels?

hi
I am from Nizhniy Novgorod, central-european part of Russia. Just was graduated a month ago, but was working in this field something as 3 years.
Mainly working with private vessels, confronting with commercial only in 3d modeling and rendering


Thanks to all of u :) will watch out

[Wellydeckhand]

Hi COSTA....... went away for a while and found a russian girl in thye backyard........ it is a pleasure......... welcome aboard...... watch out for Ari he got 2 wife..............:):):)

[Guillermo]

Costa,
I like very much your catamaran design, congratulations.
Murielle:
I love your PéPé Berrou project. Nice work with the CAD. I love traditional wooden boats.
Cheoylee:
I look forward to see soon your designs in these forums. Enjoy the Landing School.

By the way, I have two NA girls working with me at the office. Excellent professionals, as well as work-dedicated and loyal people. Much more better things to say of them than of the NA boys I've employed (and fired) before.

(Well, as a matter of fact I have 4 people working with me, and they are all women)

[Vega]

Hei Guillermo, you are full of surprises.:p

Please post the links to those drawings or boats, I want to see them too.:cool:

[Bergalia]

Hi COSTA..... welcome aboard...... watch out for Ari he got 2 wife..............:):):)

Yes, welcome Costa...But ignore Wellydeckhand - Ari's got five wives...and at last count 36 children....:D

[Guillermo]

...Course 'Cactus Kate' showed up for all of 5 minutes....before the whiff of my testosterone got her all uppitty and she shot thru! :D ;)...

Not only Kate, but Leo Lazauskas too. Just see Kate's thread and you'll find him saying goodby. And it's a real pity as he was a really knowledgeable man who had posted most interesting contributions. I wrote him and he told me he was no longer interested in participating in a Forum were people were more concerned with their own bizarre personalities than in sharing useful information, after your most clever posts at that thread... Thanks a lot, Trouty.

[Bergalia]

At the risk of alienating quite a few members with thin skins, Guillermo, and as probably one of the 'offenders' I should point out that much of 'humour' originates from those members who have lived and worked at sea, rather than the 'weekenders' and drawing-board mariners (but none-the-less valuable members) who only occasionally 'dip' their toes in the brine.
A rough humour (hard to remove) becomes a patina for those who have spent much of their life in wet clothing, hearts in mouth, and on a diet of mildewed rations. Survival comes through not taking anything, except the essential, seriously. Walrus for one, and myself for another, I know have been working seamen - and paid our rites of passage. We have the practice and not just the theory.
However, should the more diletente members wish it, I for one will, with regrets, withdraw from this forum. :(

[Guillermo]

..A rough humour (hard to remove) becomes a patina for those who have spent much of their life in wet clothing...
Humour is not the problem, and some of it is absolutely necessary to relax and enjoy life in a friendly manner. I like very much intelligent humour. I believe we can post humoroius posts whithout offending people. We shouldn't forget we do not know each other as well as to allow ourselves to say things we can say only to a close friend.
Believe me, I can be as ironical as anybody and if I want to be really 'bad' I can too. But what will I win with that? Friends? Making me feel better with myself? I'm too old and my life is rich enough as to feel the necesity to go back to my teen years, when I needed to reinforce my own personality. No way.
I believe it's only a matter of using a little bit of politeness and a sense of balance. That makes life kindest for everybody.

However, should the more diletente members wish it, I for one will, with regrets, withdraw from this forum. :(
Why? You're a nice guy...:)

[Wellydeckhand]

Yes, welcome Costa...But ignore Wellydeckhand - Ari's got five wives...and at last count 36 children....:D

Heh........ you didnot even drink a drop of scotch wisk while writing that? You sound like my uncle........... too bad your are too young.....he.....:D:D:D

You haven't noticed how much the surgery has changed him into woman?








Now, imagine that face without clothes :P

Alot of people - man and woman who depended on plastic surgery have an instant upgrade with a certain risk of failure, but old age will reveal the real body and the artifical item apart.

Be natural be sensitive and love your wife.

Well, this one is on the cover of Yachting World and she is doing what few man have done.

As the French say, "Chapeau" Mademoiselle:cool:

Where in the world have you guys been? Hunkered over your drafting board or monitor drawing funny lines plans? How many of you have taken a tour through a high volume boat factory like Bayliner, Glastron, Foor Winns, Larson, Sea Ray or the like? That's where the women are. They're on the assembly line putting these boats together! You can design the greatest boat in the world but if it doesn't get put together right what good is it? It's women who are doing the dirty work making sure the boats that get to the public are built right.

So, next time you're wondering where the women are go take a tour.

However, that said, your comments about the lack of femininity in the design world is staggering. The same is true of most engineering fields. More the pity. Some of the best engineers I have ever known are women! They bring a certain (as the French would say "Vive la difference!") quality to the occupation.

Women have long been the best inspectors, and not just in the garment industry. They are picky, critical and demanding - the inspectors, not all women.:cool:

Hi everyone :)

Are there any women in this forum :?: Or are we just a bunch of MCP's?

Women are quite active in other forums (Cruisers Forum comes to mind). Surely we can do with a few of them around, always nice to have a womans perspective as well, even how crooked it may be.

Where are the women in this forum..

[Wellydeckhand]

The women are working, no time for forum:)

[Puddle Jumper]

Women do work but we do manage to squeeze in a little time to check forums.;) Personally I like to see what ideas are out there and see what new stuff I can learn from the male counterparts in the boating field.

It a pleasure to meet a lady, ;), and sorry about the burned shop.

I am trying to rebuild my shop but am having some difficulties. It is an insurance/legal nightmare. Being a women is NOT helping me any right now. Oh well...

[Ike]

Well maybe some of the people here can help you replace all of the designs you lost.

..It is an insurance/legal nightmare. Being a women is NOT helping me any right now. Oh well...
Probably it will be a nightmare for MEN too. No difference when talking insurance companies, lawyers and the like...:rolleyes:
All of my best wishes to you. If there's something which we can help, just ask.

I am starting small, a canoe and two kayaks, so I can at least get back out on the water. Bigger ones in time but for now all I have is some hand tools and a small garage.
