Bollard pull

[vacuboat]

Tony, Paul, and the rest of the gang.
I thought I would take you up on the Open House Call when the issue of measuring bollard-pull came up.
I have a web site at http://www.vac-u-boat.com
I am a small manufacturer of vacuum-formed boats and ducks.
The site has pages for our local boat club at http://www.vac-u-boat.com/club.htm
The Chattanooga Tennessee Model Boat Club at http://www.vac-u-boat.com/cmbc.htm
And a few pictures from last year's fun float in Jacksonville Florida sponsored by North Florida O.R.C.A.S., Amelia Island Pirates Flag, And Jacksonville Ship Modelers Society Model boat clubs, at

As well as painting tips and general towing theory of a general nature.
I happen to sell two types of spring-pull scales so you can measure the bollard pull of your boat.
Scales are shown at http://www.vac-u-boat.com/Scales.htm
Presently working on a set of paddlewheels for a duck in hopes of making a ... paddleduck.
Pun intended...
Thanks for the forum!
