Affordable seaworthy cruiser

I remember from a few years ago a photo of a US Coast Guard ship undergoing sea trials where they pulled it over like that. When they did, a fire extinguisher came off the wall and busted out a window, the cabin filled with water, lost buoyancy and the boat turned upside down.

 

i cannot get rid of the impression, that goddwilltoall is only posting all his doodles to annoy us - or some of us - with his bible pamphlets and citations...

 

Not alone with that impression, sometimes there's a glinche peeking behind the religious trolling IMHO

 

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain..."

 

Interesting thread.

Any progress on the boat?

come back three years later, still wont be one piece of wood cut

 

Oops. Should have gone back a few pages. I have an always-active "webworm" running to tell me when there's discussion on the Ameland lifeboats.

Wow, takes all kinds. Has anyone considered removing this thread?; demeaning to the site and religion.

You could research the famous Penlee lifeboat.

Ive not seen a lines plan.. I believe this is the boat

Thanks, Mr Goodwill. I like what you've done. I like the philosophy in "Backyard Boatbuilding too. Would you know we had an old wooden barge some folks where living on powered by an onboard motor. The town was freaking when they moored that off the beach.

The Solomon Browne is the boat you're thinking of. Old style RNLI

Thanks for the article, Richard. I found the last bit quite apropos too...

The disaster has been the subject of several songs. Seth Lakeman, an English folk singer, songwriter, and musician wrote a song called "Solomon Browne" about the Penlee lifeboat disaster.[7] This appears on his 2008 album 'Poor Man's Heaven'. The CD reissue of the Anthony Phillips' album Invisible Men includes "The Ballad of Penlee" about the incident. Paul Sirman, a Kentish folk artist who specialises in songs of the sea recorded the incident in his song "Solomon Browne" which appears on his album "One For All". Kimber's Men, a sea shanty group, recorded "Don't Take The Heroes" on their CD of the same name. The song was written by Neil Kimber and Rodger Hepworth.[citation needed]

 

I haven't kept up with my rebuttals of the tripe posted here as background. That from post #963, if you google Sophonias III all you get is World of Warcraft stuff. If you go to Zephaniah 3, well, you get nothing different than the incoherent blatherings you can get from any homeless wino or mentally deranged street person. It's sad, is what it is.

“The real question of life after death isn't whether or not it exists, but even if it does what problem this really solves.”
― Ludwig Wittgenstein

“Sluggish and sedentary peoples, such as the Ancient Egyptians-- with their concept of an afterlife journey through the Field of Reeds-- project on to the next world the journeys they failed to make in this one.”
― Bruce Chatwin, The Songlines

“It's an insidious idea, this notion that there is life after death. The promise of a reward in the afterlife has been used as an excuse to deny help to the poor, helpless and oppressed; to explain away human misery rather than deal with it. It is an idea that is used to encourage young men and women to kill themselves, and others, so that they can become martyrs. It allows victims of injustice to be told not to worry because justice will be done in the afterlife. It depresses me to think that so many people on the planet live their lives with this notion. Can we truly fulfill our potential as a species as long as we hold on to, and encourage, the perpetuation of the lie of life after death?”
― Alom Shaha, The Young Atheists Handbook

 

I liked a bumper sticker I saw:
Religion is what keeps the poor from killing the rich.

 

Hi,
Shouldn't the moderator be stepping in to put a stop to this. I like this forum and the banter was a bit amusing at first but is getting a bit offensive.

Hi Mr. Goodwill I like the inspirational quotes you give with your preliminary sketches. Thank you. Pay no heed to the rift raft they'll never see the light anyway with that attitude but you never know they may have been abused by some clergy types, which reminds of this story below from the turn of the century.
