[edit] I hope you love me

I created graphics from scratch for most of the standard plans in Inkscape. I created them from descriptions and photographs. I did a lot of what amounted to design work, too. ⇝Casito⇝Talk 03:38, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Needed: sail plan image to replace Image:Tackling.png

Image:Tackling.png is beautiful, but it describes the tackling, that is, the lines used to hold and manipulate the sails rather than the sails themselves. If anybody has a numbered image with a legend for courses, topgallants etc., please put it up. Gaal 09:14, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sailing re-organization effort

Take a minute to read the comments at Talk:Sailing#Re-write effort -- non how-to et seq. Some of us are working on re-organizing the sailing-related articles. See if you agree with our approach and give us some help. Mrees1997 19:35, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Remove information from Junk

There is some information in the Junk description that seems to be extraneous to the article subject (Sail-Plan). Namely, that some of the largest sailing ships constructed were Junks, the business about the water-tight holds and . It's been there since a very early revision [[1]] before a separate Junk article seems to have been created, so I see the reason the information was originally presented in this article. But now I think it's time for it to go.

Since it's been present in the article for so long, I wanted to ask before deleting it. Paul Moir (talk) 15:31, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Xebec v. Polacre

I'm not qualified to correct it, but the definition given of a xebec seems to be that of a polacre, and disagrees with the WP page xebec, which speaks largely of polacre-xebecs and suggests that the significance lies in the hull, not the sail plan. Anyone?Czrisher (talk) 16:06, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
