Default Hello...

In article eae3a3bf-eab4-4a8e-ab9d-
, says...

pardon me if I interupt the bickering, but i jsut thought I'd stop in
to make an actual boating post.

The worlds largest ocean liner ever built is now in Florida.

i think this 5400 passenger ship is larger than alot of islands. i
know it could hold my town and the one next to it.

I'm wondering. How big does big have to be?

anyhow. carry on.



Did you see how many bow thrusters that behemoth has? Are all three
needed along with the azi-pods to keep it on a straight course when
traveling in a quartering wind let alone a full on wind off port or
starboard? Has anyone calculated the sail area of those slab sides?
