What is a broad seam on a sailboat and where would you find one?

 

Send your answers to george@bwsailing.com. A winner will be selected randomly from the correct answers.

 

Many thanks to all of you who sent in answers to last week’s question on what’s measured in hectopascals. The winner this week is Marek Zwierz who emailed: “A hectopascal is a unit for measuring atmospheric pressure. In this context, it means air pressure. On a yacht hectopascal is used in barometers and barographs for measuring air pressure. The same numeric values have an another unit:  millibars. An old unit was mmHg, millimeter of Hg (mercury) column.”
