[tonybarebones]

I'll give you another... cos you'll wait for ever for Tim to come up with something Ha Ha in any case we're going to Pembs today...

What criteria does a sailing vessel have to fulfill to be called a ship?? try googling that one Gra Ha Ha

Interesting and contentious too with all the various big brother proposals in the pipeline. Lots of court cases too.

Technically a ship is a vessel used for navigation. Somewhat ambiguous. Ship compared to boats appears to be over 40 tons. Sailing ships specifically would appear to be 3 masts, square rigged.

Probably should really do some work now

Is it related to the capacity of the propane gas cylinder lashed on the stern deck?
