Blowhard bragging rights on the internet? .... The wing just works against us at that point. Could you explain what this means, technically? "Capt" Rob wrote: Our wing has 19% more wetted surface than the standard 6 foot keel. According to who? BeneteauUSA, Doug. The keel is not only winged but also LONGER. See! http://www.beneteauusa.com/sail/prev...ages/f35s5.gif YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU"RE TALKING ABOUT!!! Really? What hydrodynamic purpose does the keel serve when running DDW? Gee wiz, Doug, what does a centerboard boat do with the dagger DDW? That answers your question in part, but a standard keel on a displacement hull can benefit from some tracking via a fin. Wings can offer lift, but for a boat like mine, it's a slower run than a regular fin. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!!! Oh and I'd like to hear about your champion racing buddy Show everyone that you're not a liar and POST where I wrote he was champion racer!!! GO AHEAD!!! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!!! with the bulb keel frac rig J-29. Got that hull# yet? It's really really hard to find. Doug, tomorrow evening I'll post pics of the boat and hull #, thereby proving YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!! Why don't we bet something? I'll bet 100 dollars that I post pics of the J boat by tomorrow evening and that you'll also look dumber than toast! RB 35s5 NY |
