I was going to say Yorkshire Cobles, since they are so deep and fine in the bow, but most don't seem to have full length keels. I did find this...
I already did the calculations. Using the water as the inertial frame makes them simple. You've seen the results, and I gave enough information...
The Stevenson listings I've looked at are plain old flat iron skiffs with decorations that are supposed to make them look like older designs. Some...
The tragedy and hardship are ongoing for the victims' families. A lot more people would die if negligence was not strongly discouraged.
I'd like to point out that it's possible to slope soar an autogyro. Are you suggesting that there is a conspiracy of people who put up fake...
Any reason we're not considering putting the boat on top? I once had two boats, one inside the other, on top of my Saturn SL (not a big car). One...
I admit I'm not clear on what a "Downeast" style boat is, since there are a number of boat types from that area. Still, I'd be flabbergasted if...
The Sneakeasy has such a light displacement for its length, that the conventional hull speed isn't really a barrier. Anyone who's sailed a Hobie...
It's a well known principle in physics that you can use any "inertial" frame of reference. That means it's not accelerating or rotating. A steady...
I should have been clearer. I meant ply that was NOT okuome, and would therefore be somewhat cheaper. I have recently heard of paulownia plywood...
Seems like you're comparing very light ply with strip wood that would be much heavier, since it's twice as thick. I think the ply could be cheaper...
Shouldn't some other view show the diagonals, too, so you know where they are?
The physics of wind turbines and propellers is pretty well worked out, and there are people who know how to calculate this stuff. Making a wind...
One thing that had to happen first was separating the rudder, or the rudder and skeg, from the back of the keel. But I don't know when they...
Flotation: I've seen schemes like this. I think, if you dig into it, you'll find that the submerged foil doesn't need to have anywhere near as...
Actually, if the boat can sail downwind, faster than the wind, that's the whole story. The relative motion is what matters. The boat isn't in...
Something small wrapped around the cable in a spiral should cut way down on the humming. There is even oceanographic tow cable made like that to...
Thanks! I guess that makes more sense than Angle of Getting much Wetter. That probably means something else anyway. It's even better than...
Ok, here's a diagram, much simpler than yours. Sorry it's a bit rough from using Paint. When I wrote "current is East", I meant that the current...
I was looking at the specs and thought that they seemed comparable in weight to regular lead-acid batteries.
