Frank Hagan Posted July 6, 2006 Author Posted July 6, 2006 I'm in SV Tidbit a 1964 "Wink" Warner designed Catboat SV Dove a 1945 Atkins Active III Ketch 1954 Dyer Dhow Wow' date=' that one won't work! It's limited to 40 characters total. Each new line character takes up 4 characters, so if you want it on two lines, you have to figure that in![/quote'] Tidbit 1964 Catboat Dove 1945 Atkins Active III Ketch Hows that The trials of being an editor .... First Line: Tidbit 1964 Catboat (23 characters counting the spaces and the 4 characters for the line return) Second Line: Dove 1945 Atkins Active III Ketch (33 characters in this line, for a total of 56 characters). You have to get that at 40 or below! You'll have to remind me of the story about Ben Franklin's advice to Thomas Jefferson when he was upset the "Committee" was re-writing his Declaration of Independence. Quote
Frank Hagan Posted July 6, 2006 Author Posted July 6, 2006 Frank' date=' all you have to do for me is Amphora. In a couple years you might need to add a fancey boat. Later I'll need to impress the the girls.[/quote']Sounds like you're thinking of it already! Quote
capt jake Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 Frank, as far as Joe; I like this one... "Too obsessed to list them all" Quote
Joe(Cold Spring onHudson) Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 Tidbit '64 Catboat & Dove '45 Atkins Ketch H'ws dat? Quote
Frank Hagan Posted July 6, 2006 Author Posted July 6, 2006 Tidbit '64 Catboat & Dove '45 Atkins KetchH'ws dat? Almost ... we're short one character, so I used a "/" instead of a space, ampersand and space. We can adjust it or use a different character ... Quote
Pipefitter Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 Simmons Sea Skiff Hello everyone. My boat is so close. They sent me the wrong steering parts and thats all that's holding me up for wetting it. Motor is on,wiring is done,bow eye/stern eyes are installed. Oh and the upholstery I am still waiting on.If not for the delay of others,I would have been done by this past weekend. 4 days off in a row and I couldn't do anything but look at it. Quote

Frank Hagan Posted July 6, 2006 Author Posted July 6, 2006 Montgomery 17 #278Lowe Paddle Jon Spindrift 10N #529 (in progress) Had to do some editing on that one ... and thought I might get away with just removing the hull numbers. As it is, even shortening "Montgomery" to "Mont." and removing the hull numbers still didn't give me enough characters to include the "10N" on the Spindrift line. Feel free to make any suggestions for other formats to get the important info in there. Each new line requires 4 characters, each space one character, and then each character takes up one space ... and we only get 40 in the space allotted! Quote
Howard Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 That looks good to me. Lets consider ourselves lucky I sold the Lund Nisswa Guide. Quote
umop_apisdn Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 Just a Weekender. Well, I have a Port-a-bote, too, but it isn't really relevant to this forum. Except that it is what got me interested in sailing, butI don't sail it anymore. So yeah, just the Weekender. Noel Quote

JeffM Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 Nice idea, Frank. But how bout I just keep my boat in my "signature"? Quote
Frank Hagan Posted July 7, 2006 Author Posted July 7, 2006 Nice idea' date=' Frank. But how bout I just keep my boat in my "signature"?[/quote']Definately not a problem, Jeff! As we always say around here, "Different boats for different folks" Quote
Blacksmith Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 Micro Tawler (Someday) Pram ( Trinkel ) Thanks, a great idea! Quote
Frank Hagan Posted July 9, 2006 Author Posted July 9, 2006 Micro Tawler (Someday)Pram ( Trinkel ) Thanks' date=' a great idea![/quote'] Is that really "Micro Trawler" with the "R" in "Trawler"? I'll do it that way, but let me know if that's not correct (the Micro Trawler is a popular boat so I suspect that's what its supposed to be!). Quote
