Hi Christian,

If you owned a Shakespearian Male Class and a Shakespearian Female class would you be able to make lots of little baby boats and if so would they be male, female or just confused.

You couldn't be certain because

"This is the very ecstasy of love". - ( Hamlet Quote Act II, Sc I).

I'll say no more because

"Brevity is the soul of wit". -  Hamlet Quote (Act II, Scene II).

Hi All,

This is getting serious; first latin and now Shakespear! Oh well

Luctor is the same class as the one advertised for sale on this Site, they were also known as 50miler's, the aft cabin on Luctor is as she was built  however the wheelhouse was very narrow and in front of that was the hold with a mast and lifting arm attached to it. Hamlet was a good murder play and would you believe a suspected Murderer hid on this boat for three months whilst the police searched for him, he eventually went down for Manslaughter!!!

    So don’t blame me!!

  I'm to thick to know Latin so I bow to your obvious expertise. (no im not flirting. This time lol)

(Perhaps the discrepancy is the translation from Latin into Dutch then from Dutch to English)



Ummm, no expertise (I'm learning Latin GCSE level, I've got as far as Caecilius est pater LOL) just lucky finding a Latin to English translator that helped me find what our boat name meant!!

More than slightly Off Topic...

Nil illegitimi carbonundrum (ain't Latin but sounds good!) don't let the B*****s grind you down....

But.....My favourite Latinish expression is

Nobo dylo vesa mar tarse.......

Minxy - or "Langemark" as she originally was and now is again - is coming up for sale on eBay in November 2017.

www.langemark.co.uk  has more information.
