draft on grounding ("0 in" change)
Hi!

I made a minor change 35 ft to 35 ft in order to avoid a rounding of the measurement in metres. (reverted by North8000). I admit in code this change looks inconsequential, but in the conversion it makes a real difference

old, 0.20m difference:


 * bow: 35 ft
 * stern: 36 ft

new. 0.53m difference:

I reverted only for the noted reasons....it was unexplained and also it conflicted with your own edit summary. You said you were modifying the stern numbers while you actually modified (only) the bow numbers. With your further note, you are replacing 35 feet (which presumably came from the source and implies the normal level of uncertainty) with 35 feet 0 inches which adds an unsourced more precise measurement and and unsourced smaller level of uncertainty.

 * Oh, I see. I hadn't noticed that I mixed up bow and stern in the description. I didn't intend to imply an accuracy increase, only to resolve the problematic rounding when comparing bow and stern. I now double-checked with the original source (Newell, p. 71) and it lists the draft as 35 ft, so it was wrong either way --Trublu (talk) 15:32, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Cool. Thanks for your work. North8000 (talk) 12:50, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
