What kinds of environmetal effects are existing on small craft

; A sailing yacht that is permanently moored and will be slipped every 2nd

A powered vessel that will spend at least 2 months constantly afloat and

The marine environment is said to be very harsh on vessels. Write an essay that describes a wide range of enviromental effects on small craft. as these effects are variable for different vessels the essay will need to cover both;
A sailing yacht that is permanently moored and will be slipped every 2nd
year.
A powered vessel that will spend at least 2 months constantly afloat and

Re-reading all your posts, it concerns me that you will have anything to do with something that peoples' lives might be entrusted to. What plans do you have if you are given a 'certificate' for what you are studying? Sam
