Sail Area Cabo Rico 38 969
Sail Area to Displacement Cabo Rico 38 20.05

I'd like to see the spec sheet to see if Cabo Rico uses something over a 100%
jib to get these numbers like most cruising manufactures do.

The true sail area (with 100% foretriangle) for the CR38 is 763, not 969. The
SA/Disp is actually 15.79, not 20. And the Hull Speed is 7.33, making a
sustained 11 knot through the water rather unlikely. And I noticed someone
attributed it to Ellis (who designed the NE38, renamed NE400, as well as the
Nonsuch's) but it actually came from the board of Bill Crealock.

You are aware it's a cutter?

Hull speed is a general indication of expected speeds... not an upper limit
of vessel ability.

Overproof has exceeded her calculated hull speed on many occasions... for
extended periods.

And the group is always in awe of you and the Boob's stories.

So... that puts you in the realm of those who believe a boat cannot surpass
her theoretical hull speed??

Do tell.....

Loco it's obvious you think that your opinion matters..... but frankly
speaking you are an intellectual midget and any thoughts you feel obligated
to impart are held suspect as to logic or rational.

Now.... Run along and have a crabcake.

No, I know better ............... ULDBs can get up on a plane under certain
conditions and ULDBs and mid displacement boats can surf also under certain
conditions but one fact remains. Heavy displacement full keelers can't do
either. So that lets you out.

Loco,

I really didn't want to get into this but the TransPac fleets, once they
get into the "Trades" flying their Spinnakers have been known to peg out
their Speedometers for hours on the Hawaii Run while surfing.

I've been on full keelers that have been designed for racing with cut
away bottoms that will surf and track in double figure speeds. I've done
it going down the New Jersey Coast.

These are special cases so I know the tales can be true. I also know
that the stories of fast passages, above hull speed, are subject to
questions.

So be it, if it makes a good story.

What's glaringly obvious is your lack of experience and knowledge base...
unless of course you insist we entertain your many television interviews and
articles read on assorted subjects.

Care to illustrate how much less you know on the subject of sailing beyond
the harbour buoys?

That's what I figured. Most 38' cruising tanks don't have 900 sq. ft. + of
sail area. As usual the 2 biggest mouths on here prove once again they know
nothing about boats. They do keep me laughing though.

Is that what you fiqured out is it???
Wow Loco..... now why don't you tell us what else you've "fiqured out"??
Tell us again what news item or interview assisted you in making this
assumption?
Tell me again how a 20 minute interview makes you an expert on anything.

I doubt it takes more than a windchime to keep you giggling and amused for
hours Loco!

You are an Idiot.... Really!
I mean that in the nicest way.
