How the hell do you figure that??? Do you just make up random

Jeff, what numbers are you entering into sailcalc? Even Crusiing World
got 18.7 for SWK version.


I think its time for glasses, Bob. And you have to stop trusting
everything you read. Beneteau publishes the IJPE, you should be able
to figure it out yourself. Using those proper numbers, your SA is 554
for a SA/D of under 17.5. Using the SA and Disp listed by Bene you
gain 20 feet of roach which makes it 18.07
