This is not rationonal, since some heel and resulting extended WL is an
intended function of a given design. It's not an "evil" but a known factor
that
designers considered and worked with. Calling heel "evil" would be like
calling
wetted surface "mean."

When you're right, you're right. I'm sure this is the extent of leeway for
you and
your boat! YOU WIN AGAIN!

Not true! A boat permanently at dock (like yours) would never make
leeway.


Poor Gayanzy...even in his trolls he's wrong. Floating marina's do in fact
make
tiny amounts of leeway.

Actually, before the Nonsuch I had a Paceship Eastwind. Not an Alberg, but a
similar design. Before that I raced IODs, and a mess of dinghies. I suppose
some might say I've gone downhill.

The thought of a trawler is attractive if we do ICW cruising again. But I'd get
a powercat, like the PDQ MV34.

Then I'd have to get a small, personal cruiser, like a Nonsuch 22 or 26.

And, as my daughter says, "Oh, the Huge Manatee!"

Dumb Question BB,

The logic is faulty? "Which is faster a 10ft Kayak or a 14ft?" If ,as
you say, keep the same proportions, a 100ft kayak with the same Guy
paddling should be way, way faster. NOT SO!!

Ole Thom


Has anyone told you lately, Ole Thom, that you are such a great "guy"!

A mountain of knowledge you are...

LP (cheers to you)

BB,

I own an 11 foot Kayak. I know what you're trying to say. I still say
your logic isn't complete.

Have you even considered a Racing Canoe/ Kayak? I know you haven't. You
have locked yourself in with certain limits in your own mind.

OT

My associations are much more free than yours could ever be. You are the
one who
is stuck in neutral.

BB

I don't think so, Binary Bill! You are stuck in reverse, much worse than
being stuck in neutral...

I suggest he not back up too quickly... Bob is right behind him.

Oh, Look! Thom the burnt out alchoholic has an enabler/defender!


Gayanzy saw an actual sailing dialogue going on and he couldn't take it. For
that matter does he ever start one?

I think the general elements of WL/Speed/heel has fallen to semantics at this
point.

Some of my fondest sailing memories are of heeling my catamaran.
