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]
