Are we all anoraks?

Good Ivory, another new thing to learn today. Tell me why is a crossjack called a vergasecca in Italian.

If you don't know that delightful book - have a Google. Redstar - you should know Lem Putt. It is said that at one time there was a copy of his book in almost every American home.

 

How about a hobbist. And leave it at that. Better yet, I AM A GARDNER.

 

Because in most cases there was no sail bent to it :D

 

Oh I see.

Ever get that feeling you asked a question you aren`t qualified enough to hear the answer to? LOL
