I took this out of the article - I don't know what it means!

Gefunden auf der Homepage eines britischen Marine-Liebhabers:
Nach der deutschen Übersetzung spricht mehr für die HMS Project als Vorlage, als für die von :der Quelle erwähnten Schiffe der "Dart"-Klasse [redrobur, germany]

I also removed:

The data below are for HMS Project (Lyon156):
Launched Length Keel Breadth Hold Tonnage Crew
1806 70' 60' 5 1/4" 17' 6" 6' 6 1/2" 98 42/94 Unknown
Armament: two howitzers-mortars

for the time being (i.e. until I find out how it is relevent). Finaly I think I remember reading the second paragraph in a book - but I have yet to track it down to make sure. Andreww 04:19, 21 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

missing stays linked to Tack (sailing) why? edit

The phrase 'missing stays' is linked to the Wikipedia article on Tack (sailing). Why? There is nothing in that brief article about missing stays. I found another article that gives a brief definition of 'missing stays': an unsuccessful attempt to tack. That is in Stays (nautical). I am no sailing expert, but it is annoying to follow a link and find no reason to be reading that article, relevant to the first article. Should the link be changed to this other article? --Prairieplant (talk) 12:14, 21 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
