To me a boat transducer is in the hull normally pointing down and help to provide info on fish, depth etc. An anometer is normally a wind recorder.

Bill, Sorry to hear that news and hope that the doctors are wrong. I have a couple of friends that were given same news 2 and 3 years ago and are still fighting their ailments so I hope that you will.

Hi Roy
Many thanks for the info. I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with friends on a 40 C&C on Lake Ontario while I really enjoyed and appreciated the skill required to operate decide I prefer twin engines and power
Although after seeing a twin engine ketch which I belive was ex National Geographic I could be converted.

There were a number of boat builders in the 20/30's that made double planked boats some up to 50ft. Back in the 70' I owned a Sheppard that was such and a real ..... to repair

Good advice but epoxy also needs to be treated with caution, especially if used in closed areas.

Check the charts. Its offically designated the North Channel with the western approach to the Mull of Kintyre.🤓
I chose Mull of Kintyre as answer because it was the closest to that point

Even though its not that old am surprised no one mentioned Chatham Dockyard est in 16 century it was of importance to the navy. They still make rope lines there, or they did when I was last🤗 there.

There have been books published by navel architects on the subject of propellers primarily for the cruiser and off shore sailor.

The question said Famous so I would suggest that the only real famous one in use to day on a daily basis by all type of vessel is the Panama.

If you live in BC you know none of the answers are correct. There is a famous Strait named after the guy that first learned of this passage.

Hi Roy,
Think we could be discussing this till (an old saying) the cows come home.
Seems there are a lot on very large container ships at least recorded by Marine Insight which has Irina at 399.9 meters with beam 61.3m and a few others all in that range or close to it in their top 20. But Ever Given shown elsewhere at 399.94 meters beam 58.8m. Interesting Marine Insight shows Micheal Coppella at 400meters with 61.5 beam. All with different cargo capacity.🤞
