Just to say 'Thank You' to Bunkerbarge for the Lloyds rules regarding anchors/chains.
Also to ask whether it would be worth having a new subject heading for the rules, definitions and formulae that often appear in questions, such as how to scale things, scale speeds, hull displacement etc.
I don't mean the questions such as what glue/motor etc., just the type of information that's equivalent to the stuff that used to be on the back of every exercise book.
For example, I have never known where the 'pp' measurements are taken from on ships. I've assumed that it's at the waterline BUT I could be very wrong in which case the starting point on every hull is wrong.
Almost a simplified scale 'handbook' for the Forum which could be continuously updated and edited by the members.
A lot is already scattered throughout the posts already, but as the forum grows, it becomes more and more difficult to spot.
Absolute accuracy would not be needed, just 'good enough' approximations that would be easy to use.
Any ideas?
