Default Unconditionally stable sailboats

jeffies, go to amazon.com and check out the books. you wanna convince yourself
that no way in hell can you die on a two-huller and are likely to die on a
mono, go ahead. but for god's sakes STOP telling that to newbee's. they might
believe you and injure themselves following your advice.

now, about a cat need LESS wind force to tilt each and every next degree right
up to the time it gets to about 30* tilt when it turns turtle, well that is a
fact of physics (remember your claim to have an associate's degree in liberal
arts physics?)

Read what you said - its totally false. You claim to have graduated from
high
school, but its looking doubtful.

And its all meaningless, since you haven't produced a single case of a
cruising
cat capsizing.

In fact, *each* degree of heel on a cat requires _less_ wind than the
previous
degree of heel. cat turn upside down at heel anglesof about 30*.

Totally wrong. You should read what you wrote very carefully.


come on, jeffies. you *claim* to have an associates degree in liberal arts
physics. that mean you *claim* to under the dynamics of wind againt a sail

and
how lever stability decreases as the lever grows shorter (due to the cat
tipping, as in heeling). you also *claim* to understand what "end-plate
effect" means, and most assuredly you *claim* to know that a cat has that

huge
wind sail (the tramp, deck, and house) exposed as it tilts.
