We have discussed the issue of "Nautical Terms" and the importance in using the proper terms in communication on a boat.

This got me to wondering. Would they sound the same when being shouted by an Italian Skipper?
Or be "Lost in Translation"?

I really like the looks of 'Northern Crown'. I'm a sucker for double-enders. My boat design, however will have a fantail stern. Something very nautical about smooth curves instead of hard corners and flat surfaces.

Jon, tell us about the fellow with the pipe. I want to 'like' it because it's a good picture, but there are powerboats on his otherwise beautifully colorful shirt.
