does it have a dingy?

if not it must be a boat.
But my question is does it have a head? or a galley Does the Captain have to be his own mate as well as the boswain? Who weighs the anchor

Pretty neat. I bet it still has a massive price tag to build, being that it's for the Navy and all. Probably wouldn't be too difficult for the home builder to replicate.

Who weighs the anchor

The builder weighs the anchor. They have to make sure it makes spec!

I thought possibly hemming was the first mate who weighed the anchor. for short the capt just hollers hemmingway!! or possibly just whispers it.... I would hate to be in rough seas in that thingy without a dingy.

It's probably got a crew of about 8, but they all stay on the dockside

or down stairs....it's bigger on the inside.... crew.
