Italian spelling, etc

Dear all
when a town is of international relevance, we use to "italianize" the
name itself: Paris becomes Parigi, New York turns into Nuova York,
Muenchen becomes Monaco, Frankfurt becomes Francoforte, and so on. The
other side around holds true as well: Milan is Milano, Venice is
Venezia, Florence is Firenze, Naples is Napoli. Nothing strange...

By the way, Marco, David's message is italian would souund as follows:
"Milano è inchiodato alla terra ferma. Vince chi ha il veicolo da
traino piu' grosso?".

Cheers, Pippo
David, we never spell the name of our cities because we don't need spelling. Spelling is an english  necessity because you have a writing that doesn't correspond regularly to yours spoken, the Italian doesn't have exceptions: what  is written it has read.
This has any advantage: if we communicate with an other boat during a storm, the others doesn't answer "Spelling, please!":)
Marco.

Oh, yes! Thank You...and Venice is VENEZIA

This has puzzled me since my trip to Italy in '86. Must be some
systemic flaw in the Italian education system that they can't even
spell the names of their major cities correctly (Roma, Turino,
Napoli, etc.) Made using my guide book very confusing.

Pippo, can you explain?

David, Milan IS Milano , and  she ( or  it, or he?) is in North Italy, between Turin and Venice. She was the  eight (8°) harbour (?) in italy, for  tonnelage, but the boats  go to and come from Milan by canals created by Leonardo da Vinci. And  they (the boats) contain only sand!

Boy, they are very close. Very, very close. Milan is the anglicization of
Milano--a process that seems entirely unnecessary to me.

Now Venice, that's a boating town.

Marco,
I have owned a number of racing dinghys that use this type of
cleat. The answer is that the long horn would be the end the first
turn goes around. They are great for taking up the line in a manner
that it can be released very quickly. Holt and Allen manufactures a
large line of these in nylon for use as halyard cleats, traveler
cleats, rudder cleats, etc. . .
I have these on an International Enterprise that I own, and on a
Laser. They always go with the short end towards the line, and the
long end away. You can get an enormous amount of tension on the
halyard and then quickly snub it, yet be able to release it instantly.
Of course, your Micro won't need this kind of attention unless we
meet each other in a race! The Micro America's Cup Race, in Milan say
August 2003?

Ciao,

Hi Larry!
A big thank you,merci and grazie from my girlfriend and me for
the translation site!!!What a hoot!!We have been amusing ourselves
reading how the"machine"translates simple phrases and words.For
example,the Italian word "cosi" gets translated into English as
"therefore",yet the English word "therefore" gets translated into
Italian as....."quindi"!I won't go into the fun of reading how the
machine translates erotica...........this is a family site afterall!!

Hi Marco,
I have never used this type of cleat but the photo would seem to
suggest that the"long part"is directed toward the source of the
tension.That is,one would first take a turn around the"short end" and
then snug it up under the"long end".
The information available for that cleat also mentions that
Butler had them cast out of metal.Perhaps this will not be
necessary,but I would consider doing the same thing(getting them cast)
or perhaps using a tougher/stronger wood then pine.

Hi all
I'm carving in pine  any cleats  invented by Paul Butler ( Http://www.friend.ly.net/user-homepages/d/dadadata/boat/matl/cleats.html  )
I'll use it  on my Micro.
Does anybody  know  which is the part that is directed toward the mast? that with two points or that with an individual long point?
Thank you, I am quite inexperienced!
