I have been checking my theories out with a proven boat designer and Olympic sailor. Oddly enough I take his opinion far more seriously than yours.
You could be talking to Glenn Ashby for all I care. That boat is not planing in those pictures in the scientific sense and that is final.
And I don't care what you think of me.
And why does everybody convince himself that I'm a computer sailor ? Hell, I have 2 sailboats (1 homemade), 6 landyachts (partly homemade), 1 kite buggy, a quiver of stunt kites (home-made) and 1 surfboard. And I've been sailing since I'm 12 and have worked as a sailing instructor for 4 years. Even got a engineering grade in this field.
If you don't like me, then that is fine, but don't convinced yourself that I'm some knucklehead who doesn't know what he is talking about. You only make a fool of yourself.
