What did the shipyard think?Report
When we brought the first hull in my impression was the guys were thinking “What the hell is this ?”
But when we got the second hull squared up and asked for help setting the akas, suddenly there were three guys who all dropped what they were doing and were eager to help load the (very heavy) akas onto the folklift, and assist with sighting them to drop into place. Then they sort of poked around, running their hands over the curve or rapping the hull with their knuckles and nodding approvingly.Report
When you get done lashing the akas in place could you post some detailed pictures of that please?Report
OT: Is any one else having trouble with Gifts of Gab loading properly?Report
I too am having this problem.Report
