Re: Upper wind limit for S20
That's a whole lot of sharp solid pointy things to be sailing around. Is that a bear or sasquatch on the front of the boat ??

Re: What Class Boat Is This???
Hey Grogman, Do you think an airplane wing will fly backwards? Laminar flow, turbulant flow doesn't make a hoot when the wing shape is totally screwed up, a non aerodynamic shape like an airplane wing trying to fly backwards. H14 and 16 hulls generate lift like a flat plate and make more drag than ...

Re: Introduction
There are a few posts on here but it seems up to 25 and you are ok. Stock sails for 15-25 and TR (Tall Rig) 10-20 is what I see them chatting about. There is a recent thread on here talking about that.

Re: What Class Boat Is This???
Being an aviator I would have said.... If this were a wing or the cut away view of a venture vacuum tub the left side of the sketch was the bow. As a wing creates lift from wind flowing over the upper camber of the wing, Bernoulli's principle. In fact if you look at the sketch it is exactly a ventur...

Re: How NOT to finish a race
Wait--it gets better. When he righted the boat, he dropped it on his girlfriend's face. She was surprisingly forgiving about all that. He must he a heckuva guy. Oh and by the way.....Yes I am and she agrees. I just don't think she will be sailing with me again. Any one else wanna crew for me?? Taki...

Re: How NOT to finish a race
Well not this years..... so to satisfy the nay sayers I will have to return and defend my honor. Seems to be all I have left these days and it is not of vast quantities these days. Though it might be on the SC15. Will that suffice Dan???

Re: Another Righting Thread!
