My fine hunter sailboat is up for sale. Last night as I stumbled back
to my boat I fell off the dock, hitting my head on the cabin top. When
I woke up this morning I found a big crack in the fibergkass. As I've
told Douglass, when my boat has a crack, I buy a new one. Of course
I'll buy another Hunter. or maybe a Magregor?

donny, your math wouldn't get you promoted from 10th grade to 11th.

(what the hell do *you* think the sq rt of 50 is, for the krist sakes?)

Say you are sailing a course of 190 and making 5 kn. An adverse current
suddenly gets you and you are now making a COG of 90. Assume the new COG

is at
the same speed (5kn)


Current = 50*, 8kts


and again at 2.5 kn.


36* 6.2 kts.


What direction and speed must the
current be to produce either of these results? Can such a current exist

in a
Gulf Stream eddie?


I don't know the Gulf stream, but I am fairly sure that I could find it!



Regards

donny don't even know what the sq rt of 50 is.


actually, the square root of 50 is an irrational number (meaning never end,
never repeating) that is just a rough estimate. a more accurate answer to
1,000 decimal places is:

5 * 1.4142135623 73095048801688724209

Note: if a thousand digits is not accurate enough, let me know and I can do the
math quickly up to maybe 5 million decimal places. More than 5 mil will take
me a bit longer.
