Oh, I don't know, there's always Moth foiling ...

 

Did I say that skiing is a little like sailing?
You beat to windward as you climb a hill, and then you have the fun part







It's been a cold winter, and pretty dark here since November, but now it's getting lighter, with longer days.

 

Some more images from that Ian Brooks post at the UK site:
These are just a few of the many, many hovercraft that Kip McCollum had designed & built.

1. What is the name of that little walk at the end of the bow? I know this but just forgot.

2. The dark blue and white flag, is that a country flag or something else?

3. Is that young lady endangering her skin to melanoma for a photo opp? Her hair looks like an old mop I once had.

That's just plain ugly

 

1. Pulpit
2. Not a country that I know of
3. Very probably...nothing to lay on nor any accesories (tanning lotion, drink, etc). She could swab anything she wanted to if you ask me.

 

The shape of that boat looks like the shape of a sperm whale, the lady on the boat reminds me of sperm too for some reason.

 

The thing on the Bow is called the PLANK.

Thats where they make you Walk the Plank which is a popular sport in the Country ( Flag Shown) of South Carolina.

If you slit the flag you get a Bow Pennant and a Stern Flag.

The Girl? I dunno?? Maybe shes just Blond to Be Wild.

 

Does anyone know a Flag Maker that can make me up a few of these with Brass Grommets for my Boats.

 

I like it.

W, I know you and apex1 don't get along, but would you put in a good word for him with the Moderator as he is a valuable member to this forum. He may be a little abrasive and frank to some, but I appreciate his knowledge and the serious and professional way he approaches the business of boat design. His knowledge is too great a resource to discard.

We need multiple points of view in order to assess our own perspectives.

 

Thank you for the information.

Just sharing what further information I've found on the Internet.

Is there another term besides plank which could be used for the bow walk thing?
