    I do not agree with todays answer as far as I remember the โ€œcorrectโ€ answer applies to waves hitting shallower water. Squat calculations are based on Bernoullis Theorem
    But this is only my humble opinion๐Ÿค”

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

    Hi all, I have been out of circulation for a while due to travels and personal commitments but I am back.
    Will be posting some pictures of our club in the next day or two as well as the completion of my Shrimp Rigger.

    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.

    Another none of the above, Vega did not complete west to east. The first ship to do this is recorded as Gjoa.

    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.
