Hi, Your comments are always most welcome
Hey Sue,
If you would e-mail me your address, I've lost it, I will have Sharlene scan the page and dash it off to you. I'm not so technical, but I'm sure she can do this.
The brochure doesn't mention the name Countess but it has a very good picture of a 67 foot boat in the Elgar class section of the brochure.
Will look for your e-mail.
Have a great day,
Mark
Hi sue,
did you know:-
1 km is 2" off 5 furlongs?
1 Chain is the maximum length of ordinary chain a blacksmith can forge before it becomes too heavy to move around.
1 rod (16.5')is the longest pole one man can carry and steer (within reason)
1 acre (4840 sq yards) was the area 1 man could plough with 1 horse in 1 day?
Useless information to brighten your day 
I always remember the furlongs because my grandfathers name was Furlonger!
another bit of even more useless info!!
ttfn Jane
Mark, thanks will get back to you probably on Monday.. 
Ron, Wonderful stuff.. I was thinking to day of all the table type things I had to learn as a kid.. none of which are of any use to me now.. and I didnt even learn about litres and metres at school!
Ha Jane, Well that is an unusual name.. was the family name depicting that they were measurers of some sort??
