Looked today ( Boat Choices)
"Cindy Ballreich" wrote in message ... It's important to remember that these numbers will only give you a suggestion of how a boat will perform. In reality there are a lot of factors that go into performance that these numbers can't account for. Yes, I understand this concept. I think it's probably safe to say that any one number in and of itself is almost meaningless; these figures probably become important through their interrelationship- the old "whole is greater than the parts" idea. Sailboat gestalt, if you will A familiarity with the basic concepts of aerodynamics is essential to flight, but one need not be able to design a wing in order to understand how it works. I strongly suspect that the same principle applies to nautical design and operation. Wendy |
