| Sliding riggers | |
|
For some reason Youtube recommended this video to me (I can only assume from searching for the W1 Lents 2007 video a while ago).
Out of interest is anyone able to explain why this boat has sliding riggers - does it give an advantage, and if so, why? (16 comments...) | |

Still in private beta unfortunately, but you can still sign up for an account.
The browser plug-in recognises (but doesn't yet identify) faces on any webpage you visit, allowing you to tag them with their name. That information then becomes part of the public database which you can search for people by name, and find out who's been photographed with whom... | |
