Doug's Rules of Draft
 

According to Doug, if I indicated that a vessel's draft of "7' +" is a
problem, I've failed to be clear? Most people would assume this to
mean: And draft 7 feet or more is problematic.
Oh, but not Doug! He needed to know that the + sign indicated 5" (or
so) lest everyone be confused!

So, folks...please be very very exact when talking about draft and
please don't talk about draft/load variations. There's only so much the
poor guy can take!

So,bs, how much does the boat draw? I'm
interested in it if it draws less than 7' 1".

If it draws 7 feet plus 3/4th of an inch it will pressent the same
sailing issues relative to any obstacle. remove some bits and she may
reward you with another 1/3 an inch, but why would you want that? For a
trailer it's another matter and exact draft figures matter. I guess
that's what Doug is always thinking....where can he DRIVE his boat to!
In any case it draws even more than that.

A 1/3 of an inch won't matter to the trailer.

The added weight would matter more to the trailer... and to
the drivetrain of the tow vehicle... than any slight
increase in draft.

BTW what country do they use thirds of inches as a standard
measurement? Is this for those who double-extra hate the
metric system?

Dang, I was about to ask exactly how much a 1/3 inch is.

So what is the salinity of the water for the specified draft?

How much does the draft increase when traveling up fresh water rivers?

How is the difference between fresh and salt water draft related to
prismatic coefficient?

Praise!

About the same as the salinity of chicken soup!

Or when the Queens sewage "treatment" plant opens the gate
just around the corner from Boobsie's dock?

How is the difference between fresh and salt water draft related to
prismatic coefficient?


Uh-oh, we might have to get JAXAShby's opinion on this one!

Ask the pretty sheep in the shed at the bottom of your garden.

Which one, they're all pretty?

About 5/3 of an inch, or 1/5 an order of magnitude.

OK .... A 35 footer that draws 4 feet, nine inches won't go upwind
worth a **** EXACTLY.
