>>but I think your both a little crazy/fanatical (did have some psych in college….)!

Indeed, I admit to that.

I totally agree with you and I wish to underline the following.

I'm not saying Bill is wrong (apart from his application of the Froude law) but that his way is the only way to go faster is wrong.

I'm trying to show that there is another way to go faster that is not described by Bills statement ;

"Nobody is going to build a boat faster than the Tornado until it has a higher sail area to weight ratio AND a higher righting moment to sail area ratio!!"


I never said his way would not produce faster boats ! That is how some of you have interpreted my statements as Bill has too.
