Hi,

The ambassador of the USA in France come in my town to help this big project :

But maybe, they need spyderedge to cut rope ;) ... ?!?

My French is terrible, but that looks like a great historical project going on.

BTW - When I saw them, I was most impressed with the French Navy ships. Easily the most graceful designs for combat vessels.

Here... one pic of the "Corderie" Where they have made the rope... one of the "Charente" to go to the see... and the last one, the "Hermione" which will go to the USA in 2008 (If all is OK!).
