A new rolling thread where we talk about something we know nothing about but as if we’re actually an expert on the subject. Second up: Boats

This is the second of a new series of rolling threads where we talk about something we know nothing about but as if we’re actually an expert on the subject.

The rules of these threads are as follows:

  1. If you know about the thing don’t come in the thread and talk about it
  2. Nobody is allowed to make that joke about “how is this different from any other thread?”
  3. Have fun, respect yourselves and your fellow community members

Anyway, now we can start talking about boats as if we’re experts about them (providing you’re someone who knows nothing about boats)

I like the cut of your jib

Shouldn’t be in here, I know about boats. Sorry everyone.

Is it just me or is it an absolute nightmare to find an anchor these days that actually has the heft you need to park up? May as well be made of polystyrene for all the good they do!

(Also, thanks for making the next one of these, I forgot about it)

Anyone off to the regatta tomorrow?

Nah mate you’re gonna want a thicker hull than that. You so much as look at a rock and it’ll tear through it like tissue paper. Anything lower than 7mm and you may as well just cut to the chase and buy a shipwreck instead.

Don’t you
Regatta boat me
No no no no

My second mate is giving the first mate a real run for their money. Anyone got any experience in managing a situation like this?
