This is the poll if you want to vote.

Not being formally trained in the scientific art of boat design, I would have to disqualify myself.

Hoyt.

 

Hoyt, you are a boatbuilder, so go ahead, you don't need to be a naval architect, and I am sure you have some very good idea how a boat should be.

Only if it is about concrete submarines.

 

Absolutly.
Concrete Submarine Monthly from Bogotta had a conpetition paid and winn by Wellmer. (The magazine belongs also to Wellmer)
So you see, we have hope!

im in the process of designing a supersonic flying concrete sub capable of going to mars

can anybody tell me how to mix concrete?

 

If it is a powder magazine, I don't expect it to stay dry for very long.

 

Mars? That sub is going to Neptune.

...or Poseidon, if you will...

 

With a mixer.

 

Obama recently met a couple of mixers.

 

Can we go back to the matter at hand.
Which mean please follow the title of the thread and try to post on relation with it. It realy interrest me to have your opinions
Thank you
Cheers

OK, Daniel, I got a little carried away by the joy of the moment. Yes, I can see validity of such a competition as long as the "fix" isn't in by the particular magazine publisher. So much politics go into these things that it can get quite sleazy. Look at what that Prejean girl was put through just for standing up for her beliefs. If that toxicity enters a competition it loses all credibility.

 

Signing off with bad head cold. Good night, all.

 

Get well and thank you for your thoughts. I apreciate.
Cheers

Very good idea.

One of the really good things about people like Phil Bolger , for example , was that he took the time and effort to explain the "what and why's" of a design.
That has taught many novices a lot .

You never know what will come out of such competition.
The non designer is at a disadvantage of course , and open to ridicule , but guys like Daniel are gentleman enough to correct errors nicely.

Maybe have a pro section within the comp.

Good idea .....would be a great read..
