professional naval architects

Sure, Jax whatever you say. Instead of "professional naval architects" let's just
call them a group of people who just happen to make their living designing
sailboats, and consulting with builders of sailboats, and teach engineering and/or
naval architecture, and providing references for insurance companies about
sailboats, and other activities relating to sailboats & the sport of sailing, and
are paid money for all these activities.

Of course you're smarter than all of them Jax. It will upset them greatly that you
disagree. The fact that you don't know what causes tip vortex and can't figure out
what hull speed means is irrelevant.

But you can explain reserve bouyancy to your pal MC. He won't listen to me when I
explain it. BTW did you ever figure out where you can buy a cement slab for your
mobile home?
