The one that jumps out at me is bubbles. I think that was recent.

A nice selection with some challenging topics  Here's my magnification limit:  House fly ankle by Mike Kanssen, on Flickr Shot through a digital microscope at it's highest power (and stacking half a dozen shots to try & claw back some DoF). The claimed 1600x is for the built in screen, so it may be only a couple of hundred times on the sensor. |

Limits are there to be broken  The maximum speed of any displacement hull is governed by a simple formula: hull speed in knots equals 1.34 times the square root of the waterline length in feet (HS = 1.34 x √LWL). My sailboat mistress had a LOA of 47' 11" and a LWL of 42'2", giving a theoretical maximum hull speed of 8.7 knots. That's not dirt on the log - it's salt spray! |

I take it you were up on the plane when you broke the limit then, unless it was a trailing log & you were pulling it in at the time I don't think we ever exceeded 8 kts on my dads yachts, but they were all smaller than your lady. There was no speedo available on my trimaran dingy but it would definitely exceed it's displacement limit even in a force four. |

There was no speedo available on my trimaran dingy but it would definitely exceed it's displacement limit even in a force four. We weren't on the plane, but the hull shape had a large flat run aft that effectively extended the waterline to the transom when at speed on a fast broad reach. We were on the south coast of Cyprus having just cleared Cape Greco heading for Larnaca in a force 5-6 North-easterly. This put us in flat water, so I left everything up and rigged a second running backstay to the lower spreaders to help out the normal upper spreader one. It was all a bit crazy, but I had just put the boat up for sale, as well into my seventies she was a bit big for single handing. I always had someone else on board, but they tended to be of the sun-bathing variety, rather than the Horn rounding variety. When I lived in Bahrain, I had a Hobie 14, and the rule just doesn't apply to multi-hulls. Modern America cup boats go at astonishing speeds in the lightest of breezes, to the extent that they are basically always sailing to windward - of the apparent wing, that is. Damn, but I miss it!  |
