    And it does help to be nice.

    SailDesign Old Phart! Stay upwind..

    Hans,
    Are you calling me a pus... Naaah - you wouldn't do that! :)

    Yes, it does help to be nice, but we have had more than our fair share (whatever that is) of people asking us to do homework for them.
    I hope dish stays around, if only to discover that we are not as bad as we can appear. Although if he has really been here 2 years I would have hoped he had noticed by now....
    Steve

    Geez you blokes can be tough! about 15 posts on giving poor old Dishsail a lecture before anyone was prepared to help him!
    If I remember correctly Dishsail is doing the Westlawn course. If I'm right and you're still there - take another look through the wooden boat building text. I'm pretty sure there's a diagram and description in there that's better than anything I could give you...

    I had not logged on to this post in a few days and I wish I had. I did not think my reply was particularly devious, though possibly baiting him to understand what to me is a very simple and common term. My first crossing of a "hollow garboard" was in one of Howard Chapelle's books, probably Boat Building around the age of 15. Asking a friend, who is a Westlawn graduate, he suggested the information was available to him in his study texts. Damn, I did not mean to piss him off or for him to run away with a bad taste in his mouth. I hope he can come back and accept my apology, though the Google search for hollow garboard quickly shows how much effort was placed before his arrival here.
