Turning and going the other way WITH the waves, I could go over 20 kts.with almost no pounding. Believe it or not, you just answered your own question. For some reason that I can't explain, the rest of the post was cut off. Anyway... With skiff style hull, the faster you go, the better the ride because the boat will tend to skip along the tops of the waves rather than ride them. It's the same way with my bay boat - the faster in a heavy chop or waves one to two, the better the ride. There are circumstances where that doesn't work all that well, but you wouldn't be out in that kind of weather. Heheh. I'd love to see that down here on the Bay with our nasty chop. Bring a cup in which to spit your teeth. :} |
