from the dictionary:

chord2 ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kôrd, krd)
n.
A straight line connecting the leading and trailing edges of an airfoil.

No Jax;

There are many, many straight line in aviation that are called just
that, and you know it.

You also know that "Chord" is used as a measurement in Airfoil
dimensions. Also used in Sail Trim.

However, that does't answer the question about Sail Trim for Newton's
Law, does it? That is the question that has been posed to you. How do us
"OLD SAILORS" know how to get the most out of sail trim adjusting for
Newton's Law. What do we look for as we adjust;
Halyard tension

Outhaul

Cunningham

Sheet tension

Vang tension

Slot position MAIN/JIB

We know these things affect the speed of the boat. How can we know how
to get the Max Effect? What do we look for?
We know those "Dumd Ass sialing to those Bernoulli postioned tel-tails
are going faster. Help us converts to Newtons Law.

incredible that the olde fart thinks a curved line is straight.

No Jax;

That is what you want me to say

A Chord is a straight line that touches a Curved line at two places.
And that's the truth Bllrrrppp :^P) !!!!!!

Now, ONCE AGAIN, what does that have to do with trimming a sail to make
a boat go faster using Newtons Law?

Do you need more time to truly learn about what drives a sailboat. You
seemed very sure we didn't know and you did. PROVE IT, Jax ass be, Prove
it!!!!!
Tell us dumb ass what to look for that PROVES YOUR POINT !!!!!

Ole Thom
P/S You prove it Jax. You can't put words in my mouth. The world isn't
waiting for proof that I'm wrong. The ball is in your court. We're
waiting for your proof that you know what makes a sailboat move

Incredible learning experience
 

old man, obviously you believe you are not only informed but so thoroughly
informed that you have nothing to learn. you also obviously have a mental
condition that makes you unable to accept any situation that shows there is
anything at all left for you to learn, let alone the entire universe of
knowledge.

that means rational discussion is not possible with you. look at your efforts
to cover up and deny you did not even know the definition of the elemental
aeronautical term "chord". not much to be gained in dealing with an ignorant
fool like you old man who insists he knew everything there is to know by the
time he was 12 years old.

sails do not produce a foward force vector "because they are curved on one
side", old man. you were misinformed. get used to it.

Geez, Jax ... so now you are reduced (if any reduction of your
character, personality, or intellect, is possible) to cut and pasting
your last psych evaluation.

" Incredible learning experience!"

We're found out that Jax can't or won't answer a question on Sail Trim!

Jax says the curve of the sail does not effect the Driving Force on a
sailboat!

Jax prefers to belittle the questioner rather than answer the question
asked

Jax is a "Bag of Wind" who tries to claim knowledge of Sailing but
cannot show any evidence to prove he has any practical sailing knowledge
at all!!

His Own posting; "Incredible learning experience" once again proves he
is incapable of learning anything of any value.

Jax value to this discussion group rates about equal to static or spam

I owe the group an apology for the useless discussion I've engaged with
Jax.
I'm sorry I allowed him a sounding opportunity to print his nonsense.

I'll sign off now. My dog just came in. I'll talk to her. It will be a
pleasure to up grade the intelligence over Jax's

old man, you are lost to the world again. I said no such thing. I did say a
sail does not move a boat "because it is curved one side".

It seems you have had too much to drink so early in the day and don't
understand the words used.

Jax,

One final question for you ( That you will not answer)?

How in the Hell can a sail, made out of cloth, have ONE side curved
without the other having the same curve.

That is the nature of a fabric sail. Both sides have the same curve. If
this isn't so, you have to explain how it can be different and still be
a SAIL.

A absence of a reply is the same as saying Jax is wrong.

This is the final post on this Troll. Consider this my release of you.
If Nav wants to work you some more on the Syphon, that is between you
and him. I've had my amusement with you but you no longer entertain me.

Bye Little fishy. Go swim n the Gulf Stream (If you can find it)

old man, YOU were the guy saying that a sail drove a boat forward "because it
is curved on one side" not me. Now you are arguing that can't be true because
a sail is curved on both sides.

duh.

so, old man, does the sail work because it is curved or not? make up what's
left of your mind.
