Thank you both, especially TwoFish -- spot on.

In a post on the thread "Suez Canal Blocked" on 23rd March last, Kukri used the phrase "She’s fully laden and well sued up out of her draft forward." when referring to the plight of the Ever Given. Somewhere in the back of my mind I seem to recall that the correct spelling is "sewed", but I...

Will do. Thanks for the pointer.

Useful training material, thanks. Must brush up my skills. Plomong

Thanks for the information. Got "gollywobbler" with slight change of spelling: 'i' instead of 'y'. Have not returned to "mule" yet. Didn't think that a mere sail and mast rack could have a name !!! But then "it takes all sorts" as our host said one evening in 1956 when we visited Sumerset...

A document such as you describe, for a known version (e.g. V23.6 30-June-1988 or whatever) would suffice. Problem is how to locate such doc !!! It doesn't need to be the most recent version, just that of a known version and/or date. Plomong

Thanks, will contact them and see how it goes. Plomong

Would that office be of the IYRU, or some other international organisation ?? Which one ??? Thanks for the pointer. Plomong

A few months ago I was looking for information on the IOR measuring rule, and the elements that fed into the final calculation, with little success. Do you know where I might find a complete list of all elements included in the calculation, including corrections applied, etc ?? Plomong

Is there an anode on the shaft ? It might be loose and flailing about. Plomong
