Wreno, A discover like this demands I repost this oldie but goodie. HHhmmmm its almost Ground Hogs day, lets see if we can wake Mikey!!!! If Mikey posts...
Not one Mustang Mike, but two is compensation. Pav ;-) ... From: Mike DeMarco To: IRCWCC@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 10:10 PM Subject: RE:...
Thanks for the infor guys, since I have already got the hull sheeted, doped, silkspanned and sanded for paint I'm considering experimenting on a small section ...
Hi Steve, I was talking about more modern SUV's, for the mostpart they don't have a great deal more interior room for cargo than a mini-van, but yes an '87 ...
My vote would be for an extended cab full-size pickup with a cap over the bed. I can and have carried 4 guys, six or more ships and all our stuff. Take the cap...
Ha ha ha! Ok fine you got money then get a massive SUV or Truck with extended cab and all the rest, but don't complain about gas prices! I like Big Toys ...
Ok obviously it's not looking like this will pass this year, so lets keep it in mind for 2006 and in the meantime show doubters that it might work, on the ...
Chris, Why do you think the proposal to increase the separation between the speed classes (i.e. slow down the overspeeded 28 sec and 26 sec boats) won't pass?...
Ken; I don’t think that Pav or Scott H were being impolite – just voicing their opinions as Ken said they are allowed to. The “The Dead Duck rule” is...
Chris & Marty, We established in a conversation on the "Old List" that the trouble with Latex occured when the Lacquer or Dope was still in the process of...
Marty- I dont think that Ken is trying to specifically make "battlecruisers" perform better, I think he is suggesting that a better balanced system is...
Hi Chris, Let us know how your "experiment" goes. In the mean time you can paint Latex over mostly everything as long as it's dry. You can paint Enamel over...
Ok If I was rude sorry Chris. Now here is my thinking why not look at the ships actul speed?? Then work out who they should be in scale. Than classafie them...
Bill, You are absolutely right about painting dope over enamel. Of course, if you are repairing damage, and are doping silkspan to cover the hole, then you...
I'm into dope for painting and patching. Less trouble that way. Just don't tell the IOC, or they'll have my racing licence. :) Cheers Jeff Wreno S. Wynne...
Scott, I don't have a dog in this hunt, but I am with you. As I have mentioned before, over here on the dark side of Big Guns, we use speed based on the...
Marty, I definitely didn't say that Scott had been impolite, rather I was referring to the "silly rules" comment and the "Dead Duck Rule" comment, neither of...
Mike, Wow! Thanks for that... I was worried that I wasn't doing a good job of putting my thoughts and ideas into written form (based upon some of the other...
Jeff, Ahhh - too much dope... no wonder the Espana thought it could go after Richelieu single-handed. Another dope-related death. ;-) Seriously, that is what...
Scott, No, you definitely were not rude, Marty's E-mail was wrong (he somehow incorrectly put your name in it...). Sorry for the screw up... As to the real...
Wreno, Thanks, you also help point out the concept that I am trying to explain, that being a true choice of speed versus maneuverability for a captain when...
Hi Ken, Oh I'll vote for it for sure! Not turning colour or jumping the fence on that... It's just that perhaps it seems like there is more resistance to this...
The rudder rule is to help the BC's, which is not really a concern because as you pointed out there aren't many if any out there and as Ken has said they are...
Mike you make a good point in the second paragraph, the larger faster ship determines if the engagement will happen, in real life the faster ship could outrun ...
