-----In books and movies, they seem to be never sucked into the propellers. Is that realistic? I am watching "Ship of Fools", 1965, where both a man and a dog go overboard but the propellers do not get them. I am talking ocean liner. ---Jim

Hi. I'd like to start sailing, with my eye on a small boat my friend is selling. Obviously I wouldn't dream of buying it until I knew what I was doing but it is suited perfectly to what I want; small, but comfortable for three to four people, suited to coastal cruising around the UK and maybe hopping across the Channel.

Anyway that's for some other time. What I'd like to know is, what qualification do I need to do this sort of sailing, with just me, the fiancee and parents aboard, just for the odd weekend around the south coast or across to the continent?

ROUGHLY how much should I expect to pay for this, and how long will it take if I pick things up relatively smoothly?

Any help welcome- Cheers!

Why did the Titanic list to its port side, not the starboard side, for much of the sinking? It was listing to the starboard side in the very early stages of the sinking, but it is known that it shifted its list to port. Does anyone know why? This seems odd as it hit the iceberg on the starboard side.

This boat had a wooden mast, unknown year, 31' feet. The condition of it now is laughable, but it is all there, minus the lead for the balaster. there are a couple of sections in the rear cut out and the keel looks as if someone gave up half way through trying to cut it off. It has been sitting outside for 15-20 years. I can buy it for 1500 dollars and I see some like this going for 50k when it is done. I don't mind a 10-15 year project and I don't mind spending time and money on welding equipment. Is this a good deal, assuming that it is 80-90% good metal?

I was thinking what was the average speed of today's ships, sailboats. I'm not talking about giant transatlantic cruislines and such.
Ships of average size like a big sailboat for example.
How fast do you think they go in Km's?
