RE: Digest Number 2256new to group
Hello Robert. Delighted you are with us. My apologies as a frequent
abbreviator. For the most part(but not always) members of this group start
posts with the full name of boats they're talking about then switch to
initials as the narrative continues. Full names tend to be left behind as a
threat grows. Off the top of my head here's a list of frequently initialized
boats on this list:
JB - June Bug
WS - Wind Sprint
LS - Light Schooner
H&S - His & Her Schooner(s) aka single handed schooner
MJ - Martha Jane
BW - Bird Watcher
WW - Whale Watcher (rare discussions)
JC - Jessie Cooper
WDJ - William D. Jochems (pronounced Yokems) Schooner
...to name/initialize very few. With PCB's (that one should be obvious) vast
portfolio of designs there's obviously a great number of other
possibilities. But these (not counting Whale Watcher) seem to be some of the
more common designs discussed. Hope this sheds a little light.

Hello all,
I'm enjoying reading these posts very much but I have a suggestion. When
writing about a certain boat could you please spell out the name of the boat
before using the abbreviation.
Im certain that I'm not the only one new to the group that this would
benefit.
Thanks, Robert
