- multi-hull rule of thumb?
- Tom, when you get done "smoking" my boat next season, come on back, I'll feed you.
- What kind of cruising speed do you typcally get?
- crusing speed?
- OK in 12 kts of wind, on a close reach, with waves in the 2-3 foot range with 10s period...
- and just for grins...
- Assuming 12k apparent wind
- My test sail in 18kts of wind had us doing 15kts on a close reach.......I bought the boat an hour later
- on my F27
- That is impressive.
- 18 knots apparent or true?
- True
- Apparent wind is all I care about when trimming sails
- LOL... I crossed that line of death in my Beach Cat once.
- Thanks for the advice.
- Another factor is F31 hull shapes
- Also I'm not in favor of auto-inflate or foam PFDs
- Agree on non automatic
- Lot more people would seem to be served by automatic vs. non-
- Also prefer non-automatic..
