| Cp for 26 foot sailboat Anyone have any idea of the prismatic coefficients for the J24/Melges 24/ Mini 6.5 transat boat? I am working on a design for a GP26 and want to compare my design against those boats. Regards, Peter  |

| No hard data on J24 or Melges, but you should be looking at 0.58 or so (even up to 0.6-ish) to play in that range. The last Mini I looked at was around that. Steve |

| Wonder if these boats would get stickly in light air, particularly running, on a closed course? Seems like the Minis are set up to sail fast in heavy air offshore, hence the high Cp, and the j24/melges are set up for fun. Wonder if I stuck around 0.57 I could beat them in light air/moderate air and still stay close in the big breeze? |
