So... we have a number but... what??
23 January 2013
Our boat Venture is now officially an Aussie (oi, oi, oi, and all that stuff)... almost. She has a number but there are some pieces of information missing. Okay... so this is the information we have to supply. It's technical so bear with me because this may cause some concern to the technically maladroit (such as me)... and I quote... ahem (clears throat now because I may just choke on what I'm about to spout!)...!
"Moulded depth of amidships".
The vertical distance measured (to two decimal places) from the top of the keel to the top of the freeboard deck beam amidships.
Amidships means the vertical plane situated at the middle of the length of the ship and at right angles to the centre line plain of the ship.
In the case of a wooden ship or composite ship the top of the keel is the lower edge of the keel rabbet.
"In the case of a ship in which the form at the lower part of the midship section is of a hollow character, or if thick garboards are fitted, the top of the keel is the point where the line of the flat of the bottom continued inwards cuts the side of the keel of the ship.
In the case of a ship having rounded gunwales, the top of the freeboard deck beam at side is the point of intersection of the moulded lines of the deck and of the side, the moulded lines being treated as extending as though the gunwale were of angular design.
In the case of a ship having stepped freeboard deck, the raised part of which extends over amidships, the top of the freeboard deck beam at side is the point of intersection of amidships and of a line of reference extending from the top of the freeboard deck beam at side at the lower part of the deck along a line parallel to the raised part".

Ummmm ... what??? I recognise the individual words and I assume it means something but.... ?
If it's going to at all technical on board for any extended lengths of time, you may well see my posts becoming somewhat confusing, and possibly just barely more intelligent than if it had been written by an amoeba.
Will keep you posted. :)
