Not to mention that it is really difficult to steer a perfectly straight and true course
Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Marek Dziedzic Sent: May 22, 2013 11:36 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Theoretical Hull Speed I would like to make two points: - This is "theoretical max speed" (with the emphasis on the _theoretical_); this means (among others) that in practice, it can be different. The other thing is that it only means that if you want to go faster, substantially higher force (pushing you forward) is required or that the drag grows substantially above that speed (in short, this is the point where the function goes non-linear). In practice this means that quite often you can beat your hull speed by a small margin. - the GPS speed is over the bottom; the hull speed is in the water; they may differ significantly due to drift, current and all other factors that make your boat move not exactly in the direction you want it.
