This is a model railroad forum, and I have no idea how many here are familiar with the names and uses of all the bits, pieces, and fittings that go into a sailing vessel, so I'm trying to clarify each, to the best of my ability.
Well, I'm familiar with almost none of the terms, but nevertheless find it interesting. I have another model railroading friend who was evidently an avid sailor, and the three of us could probably have quite the conversation - my contribution would be limited to "What the heck are you two talking about now?"
I'm all for voting that your project be allowed as part of the Challenge, too - even if it's not railroading, it most certainly is modelling.
