OT:sailmaker wanted FOUND

Totally off topic.
But if anyone knows someone who knows how to make covers for boats and doesn't have a job, please let him contact me.Can earn quite some money in a few months. Till end of seaon: that's when LR starts

No use asking Dan our resident sea dog, the Royal Navy part exchanged their galleons for iron clads a fair while ago.

you would be surprised how much textiles the're still in use in the navy. For instance: sunshades, guncovers, winchcovers. I'm sure Dan knows more

Had to look it up. Sleeping place hanging between 2 points. Didn't realise british navy is old fashioned too. Dutch navy uses normal beds nowadays

Yep, we still have sailmakers! Anything that's slightly susceptible to saltwater (bearing in mind my ship is steel with mostly aluminium fittings - mmm corrosion!) has a cover on it. We've even got an industrial sewing machine onboard but unfortunately its bust and no-one knows how to fix it!

We do have proper beds! The hammocks only come out on the upper deck when its sunny!

Most likely the timing of the sewing machine has gone wrong. As needly is going up from its lowest point, there comes a point grabbing (we call it grabber)the thread. It has to pass the needle 2 mm above the hole in the needle. Distance between this point and the needle 0,05mm. A good mechanic must find which scres to loosen.

Sorry off topic again


Ah Tom is a liitle oldfashioned

Do you mind, I know how to screw!

REAL SMART
Tom, now everybody knows.
Not everyone likes to get screwed

That's okay, used to it, been doing that to myself for years. Such is life.

And as we all know; LIFE SUCKS

I'm for once a lucky man. Found myself a sailmaker. First time ever.
All others were green, had to learn them everything
