it would help, doug, if it weren't bull****, all based on a couple assumptions
that are not hardly true, i.e. a boat *must* go over a wave rather than through
it, and that mathematically a sine function explodes at zero degrees.

but it sounds good, because it -sounds- like hard science. just like in one of
the only three books ever written about sailing states.

Jax, we need a good laugh. Why don't you explain hull speed for us?

it doesn't exist in any fashion as a scientific "limit", so there is nothing to
explain, scientifically.

psychologically, on the other hand, want easy answers to complex issues so will
believe most anything handed to them.
