Talk:Paravane (weapon)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think this should be moved to Paravane due to the inclusion of non-weapon topics.--Dj245 16:57, 5 July 2007 (UTC)4
I support this suggestion : move to Paravane and drop the (Weapon), which btw the mentioned Paravane isn't. It's a military equipment, ok, but not really a weapon. Demining devices are'nt weapons strico sensu (Goulu (talk) 15:02, 14 January 2008 (UTC)).
I also suggest removing "Sailboats do not need paravanes since the wind pushes them on their side and keeps them from rolling." which is wrong for 2 reasons :
- sailboats precisely have to compensate the wind push by some other force
- paravanes are considered for high speed sailboats. check [[1]] for an example
