Roy, often the obscure helps us all learn - maybe not very useful at our scales, but expands our knowledge and one day you may just need that obscure piece of knowledge?

Don't worry Boatshed, I am still paying the penalty of taking a holiday and being away from a computer - not even back over 50%, even with a string of right answers. Luckily, sailing questions play right into my past, so I can get most right. But for other advanced topics, it is pure chance.

Surely you would do a rolling hitch on something solid like a tree truck, and you 'roll' it to ensure it locks from the direction of pull? It helps to have been in the boy scouts in the 'old days' when they used to spend half their time learning and doing knots.

Exactly Ross, the ship is still technically underway, and presumably the engines just need re-engaging as they are still running.

AI is not only taking over the questions, it is now analysing our results to make sure everyone gets a crack at the 100%?????? Can you bribe AI?

Sailing single handers, such as International Moth, which goes like a bat out of hell, with 70 square feet of mainsail, and weighing barely 70 pounds, the central mainsheet on a traveller had a cam cleat - absolutely vital for taking some of the strain off your arms. The traveller also had cam cleats - so called because they looked like the clams as used on gears - but equally called jam cleats, as they jammed the sheet/halyard.

Beautiful as usual Jump. Looks to me like that is a shelf/display job when in her fabulous blue. Don't get sidetracked in Cali to impulse buy the next toy!! - Have a good break.

I know they were making brilliant lenses in the early 19th century, but not with the level required to make a fresnel lens - another wrong educated guess.

I've never heard of a DEA anchor, that's what this quiz is all about - learning.

That was tough, but then I do not do any research, just work on logic or my own knowledge - I treat the quiz this quiz as any other, and try to answer without any extrenal help - just depends on how necessary it is to be at the top of the league.

One of the few questions I was definite about, having been racing dinghies and yachts for too many years to remember - can be a dangerous manouevre to get just right, and send the opposition onto the other tack which they will do their best to avoid. The bigger the boat the bigger the risk of collision and major damage.

The next question is what was introduced in the 20th century to reduce wetted surface - answer - foils - it would be interesting to see if anyone has succeeded in making a model yacht work with foils?🤣

Are we all so desperate to be at the top of the rankings? This is supposed to be for fun, but seems to be getting very competetive. I have missed a couple of months of questions for various reasons, so am almost at the bottom of the heap, but so what - it is nice to get answers correct, especially when the questions are set right, but it is not the end of the world if I am wrong, it means I have probably learnt something.

Some of us are here to learn, others already know many answers. So really only option 1 is right. For those keen to hit the 100% mark, then the question needs to be fixed, with all scores on the wrong question deleted, this will also help for those who have learnt something new.

Great filming Martin. I don't think a yacht more beautiful than a J, has ever been designed, whether full size or as a model.
