Hi, Tim,
Though ships shape,size,speed have changed with respect to time, the terminology has not changed. Your post takes me back to past. Nice.

Hope this details will stay like this allthough the shipping industry is modernising. This will keep a good record of history and makes it easysier for us seafarers to stay up to date.

Kramer, those are pretty neat RIB’s of yours. You’ll have to let me take one for a spin the next time I’m in Holland!
