good condition and equipment.


In addition to the 26M's, I'm looking at C&C's, Cals, O'Days, etc., in
the 30 to 34-foot range. I noticed that the water line lenght of the
O'Day is several feet longer than the C&C and others of similar overall
length. Would his mean that, if I multiplied the wL by a factor of 1.4
or 1.3, that the cruising speed of the boats that the speed of the
O'Day would usually be be proportionatly higher than that of the C&C or
Cal? It's a substantial difference, something like 25 feet vs. 29 feet.

Thanks,
Jim
