Er, thanks, Raedwald.

You have just reminded me of why it was that, as a Cambridge undergraduate in the early 1970's I underwent a Pauline conversion one morning, en route to the Sidgwick Site. I lost all interest in English Literature and chose to pursue a career in merchant shipping. My chosen field was a poor one, as Britain no longer has any merchant shipping to speak of, but at least it got me out of Derrida and Foucault and the rest of that gang.

Yes, it is the most terrible pile of doo-doo isn't it?
But horribly easy to parody.

Deconstructive rationalism in the works of Uffa Fox.

I have an Uffa Fox designed boat and can confirm that the Deconstructive rationalism relates primarily to the coach roof, specifically around the mast step.

Obviously your boat is a classic!

Many thanks for your input, but aren't we losing track of the original question guys???

 

[Wansworth]

"QUE"

RE quote hope the following abstract is useful

Yes about as useful as a chocolate kettle!

A classic is almost always a sailing boat, is designed and built with extra special care and with consideration given to the form as well as function of the vessel and its components, including consideration of traditional designs and building methods as appropriate. The hull material could be anything - steel, grp, wood could be a classic.

Classics need *not* be "old" - google for Spirit Yachts where you can buy a brand new yet obviously classic sailing boat.

A classic yacht has pretty much GOT to have some Highly Visible Wood, with varnish. Real wood, mind!...

Preferably with nice teak decks.

 

[TiggerToo]

ehm , actually it is dissertation (two "s")

 

[BrendanS]

which Jenny_C has already pointed point, and which I was quite aware of at the time of posting. It's called humour, but obviously too subtle for some

Not only is a Spirit 37 beautiful. It's also ahead of the AWBs
