Re: Upper wind limit for S20

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: Another Righting Thread!

You need bigger crew. I have to hand it to Bill with his righting system. I do not struggle getting the 15 or 19 up as much as I did a H14T.
