Just joined to start some research into cruising.

Please accept my apologies for all the stupid questions I will no doubt ask as I try to get to grips with the terminology and try to increase my knowledge!

Welcome aboard Mark! But the rules stipulate intelligent and informed questions only. Sorry.
Ah just kidding. We've ALL had a lot dumber questions than you can come up with... like how come when I pull the tiller this way the boat goes the other way?

we like the challenge of stupid questions! Fire away!
