"SA/D=14.24" No wonder the guy never leaves the mooring.

If only we could only find a way to harness all the hot air you emit.......

2 different kinds of boats......

The listed SA/Disp ratio is with 100% jib. I normally use a
13% genny in air up to 20 knots which makes the SA/Disp
ratio very much more respectable.

I hope this helps.

That's the way all boats list their SA/Disp. Numbers like that are
only meaningful if boats are measured the same way.

And why would you want a 13% Genoa? Mine is a 115. Please try to
like the jargon if you want to participate.

Wouldn't that be a storm jib?

Typo, this keyboard needs to be pushed down hard to work and
I'm still not used to it. It should have read 130%, as if you idiots
didn't know it already.

Neal,

I hope you meant to say 113% Lapper? There is no such thing as a 13%
Genny, just like no such boat as a Gulf 30.

You really should consider replacing that Commodore 56.
