She's not near her hull speed (look at the stern) and the wind is light. I'll be she'd be closer to hull speed when heeld to 25-30. And I bet she's going appreciably faster, and a much higher percentage of her hull speed, than you think. As for light wind, this is a boat of approx 130' LOA. What looks like ripples on the water around her is a substantial chop. Secondly, when I look at the stern and just aft of the stern, I see a substantial wave train. With a 90 foot waterline, she could be moving at 10+ knots making such waves. BTW this boat is one of those type specifically designed to increase the waterline when heeled. But not as extreme a type as this one Now this _is_ too much http://www.boatdesign.net/gallery/sh.../cat/501/page/ Cheers |
