OK you seem determined to make me rub you nose in your error but here it
is. You said and reaffimed that the equation was:

"
CSR==(Beam / Disp ) ^ 0.333
"

but it is really

Beam/(displacment)^0.333

The second equation is right. Was the whole divisor included in the
parenthesis in my first post? If so, that was an error.

However, we now know for sure that this is indeed what you're talking
about, and it has nothing to do with initial stability (as you
repeatedly said) and it used to compare relative LPOS for similar
vessels when no more detailed measurements are available.

I posted several links explaining what this measure is intended for,
including at least one article by one of the members of the panel that
created it. But what does he know, he's a "professional naval
architect." I can post them again, just to show how ridiculously wrong
you have been about it all along.

Now, are you interested in backing up and restating all your bushwa
about your great credentials as a naval architect, and what CSR means?

You can back up even further, and post the details of this boat you
claim won our bet.

But I don't think you will. And I don't think you're going to email any
US sailing officials any more than you ever emailed Phil Bolger. You
have no more to contribute to this forum on sailing topics than Boobsie.
