Boat bits

This series of pages will describe the various parts of a saliing boat. The approach will be incremental, in that it will simply start with a hull, and will then add a few bits at a time to make the boat more realistic. There are essentially 4 types of bits of a boat:
 * hull: bits in the water
 * sails: bits in the air
 * spars (posts): posts that stop bits coming together
 * lines (cables, ropes): pull bits together

and this series will make 2 passes over those parts, starting with the basics and then adding extra bits of each type in the second pass.

Ultimately, we'll end up with a complete boat as shown below (the All boat bits page identifies all of the bits), and each page will show a boat consisting of the bits described up that point. Credit is due to Gerald_G for creating the core image.
