You have a knack of stating the obvious...still, all things being
equal, a 5' longer boat WILL be faster and roomier,
A. because it's longer
B. because to get the correct hull shape it will be wider
C. it will carry more sail because being longer it's more easily
driven.

Remember all things being equal as in ratios are the same.


Ratios are rarely the same, Ozzy. Only an idiot like Loco would make
such a statement about 5' LOA when things like WL, wetted surface, S/AD
are more important factors. His Depress 30 will still clobber a new
Catalina 350 in spite of the LOA (as you well know) for just those
reasons. It was Loco's comment about the 5' that was idiotic and
simplistic, yet you seem inclined to look past that and would rather
dress me down for stating truths that you find "obvious."
You're hurting my feelings, Ozzy.
