| | | | I'd say It's BS because boats are simply not that rigid and
it's
| hard
| | to
| | | | measure to an accuracy of 4 thou on big objects. The
flexability
| of
| | most
| | | | boats is such that the side stays limit the spread of the
hull
| as
| | the
| | | | backstay is tightened (this is naval architecture 101).
Current
| rig
| | | | tensions are much higher than they used to be. Even Ella has a
| | backstay
| | | | tension of 2,500 lbs when beating.

| | | | AFAIK there was no reason to BS about it, the boat was a
one-off
| | | | and paid for. If I am interpreting the article about the
boat
| | | | correctly, the distortion was measured at the mid length
along a
| | | | straight from stem to center transom.
| | | |
| | | | If one is installing high powered hydraulics to control the
rig,
| | | | it makes sense to make the hull & deck structure as rigid as
| | | | possible, within reasonable weight limits. I haven't seen
any
| | | | figures for the distortion measured on the newest IACC boats
but
| | | | the early 1990s boats had very high rig loads (10K kg and
up)
| | | | and very little (if any) distortion.
