Reason: That thread, eminently naval in subject matter  really brought a lot of guys outta the cyber-woodwork!!! We've got a lot of  sailboat fanatics!  Besides 'usual suspects': Jimbuna, Sailor Steve, Gargamel, AVGWarhawk, Catfish, nikimcbee & myself; There's Bertieck476 patrolling the Channel in an 1897 restored 40' oyster dredger! (best pics imho  ) just OUTSTANDING! The variety of ships was astounding! @ ADMIN:
