Small Craft CD

Small Craft Community - Tired of searching through stacks of papers to find one piece of information to assist you with a project? If this sounds familiar, and if you are reluctant to throw anything away, SNAME has the answer. SNAME has created a Small Craft CD, containing over 300 papers that are relevant to the small-craft community. These papers were selected by the SNAME Small Craft Committee and have been culled from SNAME Transactions, Marine Technology, the Journal of Ship Research, and Section papers, from 1985-2003.

The papers are organized with a linked index to enable papers to be located by author, title, original source, or subject.

Section News

In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a new link at the top of the newsletter called Section News. As announced in our previous issue, we will now published Section News in the SNAMeNewsLetter as it becomes available to SNAME HQ. Note: Section News will still be included in the quarterly issues of Marine Technology.

“Electronic Section News” will be a bit different from the “hard copy” in Marine Technology. Photos can be presented in color; e-mail addresses and web sites mentioned in the articles will be live hyperlinks; and the names of each reporting section will be linked to their respective web sites. (Note to section web liaisons - keep your sites updated!)

Now that your curiosity has been peaked, click on the Section News link at the top of the page and give it a try.
