Phew, lucky stab produced results!

ROY!!! All so true!
That just made my day!!! Thanks for posting!!!
👍😂😂😂

I found this written in stone when it came down the mountain.
"If your wife wants something done, do it now" There are so many benefits!

You will not be nagged.
You will have more time for your own work. i.e. no nagging time.
Your wife will boast of your virtues.
You will have much more admiration from your wife's friends! (dodgy one that

There will be more tolerance for your model boats. I was even allowed to keep one on show"! Well just for 2 weeks.

Your wife's friends husbands will ask you how you do it?
You may start self help courses for them, perhaps at the local hostelry.

You will live longer! This is specialised knowledge.

On doing some research, I prefer to shop in Morrisons rather than Sainsbury's If you do not believe me check out the Birthday cards!
Morrisons have them for age 100, Sainsbury's don't.
Regards
Roy

Stumbled into the question after a long while and got lucky.
That's always a good way to start the day. 😊

BTW: My kits await as I build this winter sunroom for my wife. Well, it's a kind of wood-working. Just a ton heavier than balsa, but I don't get CA all over my fingers!!!!!
😂😂😂

Well got it right today but still got wrong ones in the system when you drop one it takes ages to get rid of it ho hum one day I will get there but it will take a long time at the rate I keep getting them wrong ha ha
Philuk👍

Nine years and three weeks ago We were on a gondola from the Grand canal around the one-way system and singing "O solo mio".
No that's not true as I also heard "Just one cornetto". Those b****y bridges and stairs, the pizza was good. One of the most exploited places ever!!
Roy

Hi Ed, I like it!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I chose the answer with "asymmetrical" in it as I knew it wasn't symmetrical.

We will keep asking the same questions till everyone gets them right. 😂

Haven't been on in ages, wrong 😐. Must try harder 😁

Repeat question...

A repeat question that I got wrong the last time 😀.

gondola

none are correct
left (port) wider curve, bulged, longer. & FATTER not flatter
starboard is flat

8 different species of wood

asymetrical

flat bottomed for canal work

Deja vu🙄
G'nite All,
Doug😎

Lucky guess

I'm with Roy on these last two questions . I took the most descriptive of the three after eliminating one as being highly unlikely 🤗🤔.
The Kelvin wake one was ok, as I remember standing near the back of the Isle of man ferries and being mesmerised by this wake that the ship was making 🙄.

No idea but chose the most descripive answer.
Roy

Ai at its best again thought it was anchor or fishbone . Start building again
Philuk👍

And I thought this was the symbol 🤣

Answer D gave the longest explanation, and it seemed to be the most feasible one of the bunch to go for, using fg as an abbreviation of foul ground, so I went for that one 🤞😊..
I nearly picked B, the anchor with the X through it, but went for the most detailed explanation of the two 😆.

I doth protest - has AI got it wrong or is it deliberately setting a trap - according to NP5011 there are several markings that can be used to denote Foul Ground
I chose one answer to be told it was wrong when clearly in NP5011 it is correct!!

A guy I knew was responsible for the update of plans for the hotels owned by the railways. Basically to put measurements into metres et. al.
One hotel did not submit there information and he contacted them telling them it was to convert yards and feet into metres etc.

They came back with the information that our plans are in Rods, Poles and perches! Before the Imperial system came into use.
Roy

Hey Ed, I thought we are all merticalated now, all terms unified and done away with...🤔🤔🤔

Nautical Miles, Cables, Chains, Cape Feet and Furlongs to name but a few that only serve to confuse us.😂

Well now he tells me, ☹️☹️ You could have said that before I answered the bl***y question. 😁😁😁😀🙄😂😂.

(Only joking Pat )..

Obviously not a navigator Steve although the traditional answer is a cable is one tenth of a nautical mile

Hahh well, 😮 anchoring in the question and anchor chain in my answer didn't work out this time 😆. I had no idea,😔☹️ ----anyway I still use feet and inches and miles..😁😁 😠. So lesson learnt " not always is the answer in the question.!! Probably a very easy one for Pat.👍👍

I ruled out cavitation threshold, that's to do with propellers 🙄 and didn't think it was boundary layer seperation 🤔. So I nearly went for Froude resonance, but like Nick I saw speed in both the question and the answer so picked that 🙄

I chose the answer where "speed" was mentioned in both the question and the answer.

Ah! A Froudian slip perhaps?

Rats! Great BIG, fat, grey long tailed RATS!😠
Led astray by the Froude name, up the garden path, deluded and betrayed by the great William.🤔 The 30 day trek starts AGAIN😭

😎

OOPs! Never heard of it. I wonder if I am going to get a lecture on the subject?
Roy

I didn't think that it was the USA coast guard ship, so ruled that out (wrongly l found that out later).
So the earliest date and the fact that the ship was called Antarctica in Russian was the one that I went for, otherwise I didn't have any real idea.
This time I don't think that you could really say " The answer is in the question " 🙄🤔. I waited in anticipation for the confetti-----, and then it dropped 👍🤗.

Speaking of birthdays, my birthday is the anniversary of the first clash with the Spanish Armada in 1588.

Anyone else got birthday anniversaries?
Roy

Wow I think this is the highest I have got so far bound to get it wrong next pulled the answer out from the back of my mind just new it was Russians
Philuk👍

This question has just reminded me of something I was going to ask the members. I was watching a BBC programme some time ago. In it there was a very modern ice breaker, which went astern into the ice. The design caused it to rise up onto the ice, thus cracking it and the propellers acted as ice crushers pushing the slush down the sides of the hull. Has anyone got any info on it or even come across it? Just add a bit more. I think it was a cargo ship and not just an ice breaker..

Lovely when the answer is in the question - no idea, so just used the dates.

I’m the same, knew it was Russians but not the name or year.🤓

I knew it was the Soviets that reached the Noeth Pole, but not the ship name, until now!

How could I forget?
Happened on my 26th birthday😉

😎

I moved to Finland in 1996 and the Estonia was still the subject of much discussion.

I was involved in some language teaching with the Finnish Army and was shown around the the hangars (the army operated helicopters) and there were quite a few pieces of the wreckage there. The helicopters from Utti were among the first on the scene.

I can remember the Estonia disaster back in 1994 and the inquiry which was shown again on tv a couple of years ago? , but I didn't think that it was so long ago.🤔
If I have it right, these types of ships were advised to install cctv cameras to make sure that the bow doors were fully closed and water tight as in The Herald of Free Enterprise disaster in the 1980,s.😐

Hi guys could have been any one of a b or c but got it wrong thinking by now they have perfected container ships to glide through the sea ha ho try tomorrow.
Philuk👍

It just goes to show that the American red Indians and the Eskimos knew all about hydrodynamics many years ago well before the Oxford and Cambridge universities got involved with racing 🙄🤗.
I have watched "The last of the Mohicans" several times over the years with quite a lot canoes involved. ☺.
All down hill from now on.😮.

Pook🐱 Back to the 30 day trudge☹️

😎

I could not answer the question until today, as I was sailing my Jimwilder Tug in Spencer's pool last night and forgot about the question of the day that was yesterday

I think the answer would have been better if AND UPRIGHT had been left out or changed to TO FACILITATE UPRIGHTING

Capsize and upright are totally contradictory - a capsize means that you have gone over so far sideways that the lower gunwhale is under water. Although there are plenty of times when planing at full power that I have had so much water flying over me when hiking out, that it feels that I am under water!!

I guess this nearly correct answer is where AI extrapolates from it's data a possible reason why the dinghy needs bouyancy. Those that have sailed dinghys will have experienced a capsize.

I remember going through the capsize drill in the Solent in April and not a very warm one either.

Roy

I capsized many times when learning to sail and not once did it remain upright or self right. We always had to climb on the side and pull it upright, and as it rolled clamber inside. That is assuming upright means the mast is pointing toward the sky.
