If a sailboat leaves Miami at 5 knots per hour, how fast will it be going when it reaches Panama? Depends on the wind of course.... anywhere from 1 knot to the hull speed. Don, we're not limited by hull speed in this case. Why not? Because a hull speed limitation would take the fun out of the equation. |

What I'd give to be 20 years old and on a boat again! Hull speed shall therefore be c+! |
