OK. That sounds good to me.

I am afraid I am much of learner in this area having just built my first SoF (Delighted with it... two outings so far and it has behaved well.) I am beginning to get a bit more immersed in the history. I must say i enjoy the history thing.

Thank you

Hi Brian,
: That short "wooden thing" on the deck in that picture is a throwing
: board for a harpoon, which name is not coming to mind right now. :(

: In the first picture link in your previous post, the short "thingo"
: looks like a throwing board as well.
: In the second link, the short thing on the line reel looks like a fish club.
: The two upper harpoons on the deck are for lighter prey, not sure what the
: lowest one is for, though.

: Hope this helps,
: Mike Savage
