    Re: galleon (ISCC entry) —Bruce Schlickbernd
   (...) I was still trying to figure out what "condignational" means! :-) It's very nice. What struck me though was that the foremast and mainmain do not appear to be parallel. Is this illusion, intentional, or simply because you bumped one before you (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.pirates)

   Hello Bruce, (...) Er... well... I thought I've heard this word in English... :) Condignation=floor. (...)

   (...) Arrr, it's swabbin' the condignation for you, me hearty, arrr arrr etc :) I must admit I've never heard it either. (...)

     (...) No, that's how you reverse your course (at least if one subscribes to Carrollian logic, always a bit Dodgy by definition) so it will still be aft steering. (...) A gaff sail wouldn't be triangular. Jibs, staysails or lateens are triangular. (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jan-02, to lugnet.pirates)

   Hello Michael (...) You should guys learn Latin :) /Contignatio/ means "floor", "roof". (...) I've used two 2x1 plates with arm. (...) Well, it's very nice, I like the idea of cannons hidden under the maindeck. (...) "W Szczebrzeszynie chrzaszcz (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jan-02, to lugnet.pirates)
