Veron Titan Tug
I'm looking for a copy of the Veron Titan Tug drawing. It is more a building guide and a top and side elevation that a drawing. My late father build it in the 1960's and it survived until 2012 when he passed away. It then disappeared.

I do not agree with todays answer as far as I remember the โcorrectโ answer applies to waves hitting shallower water. Squat calculations are based on Bernoullis Theorem
But this is only my humble opinion๐ค

Roy, where this becomes very important is when a sextant is used in aircraft navigation, ie the square root of 10000.

On Sunday I visited the club to find that Rudy was no longer a member. I was however welcomed and spent a few hours chatting to members and photographing the activities and models, most of which were yachts.
I will post the pictures as soon as I have a chance.
Hermank I passed on your wishes and the reply was โSelfde aan Julleโ

Another none of the above, Vega did not complete west to east. The first ship to do this is recorded as Gjoa.
So much for AI, this one needs a lot more deep learning.

I preferred the 30 day rolling average as it gave you something to aspire to. This is pretty meaningless, it is only good for people who can't accept a score that drops

As with the posts of Jaws with the model of Orca, you could add something similar. This is a Megladon that was caught by Dutch fishermen.

Here are some pictures of HMS Royal Marine, a Deans Marine model of an armed trawler of that era.
I will take a look at the drawings and see if there is any details of the colour scheme.
