Unrelated - My wife and I first started sailing in the late 80s on a swing keel venture 22. It was trashed and bought at a bankruptcy sale. We had some great adventures, and certainly envied the then new C&C‘s that abounded here in the Toronto area. The venture’s swing keel was suspended by a steel cable on a winch, which was under tension. As speed increased the cable would resonate. It had three pitches, low, mid, high. As any speed was gained, it would start a low hum and we’d say the cellist has arrived. As the seas picked up it would alternate rhythmically between low and mid. It was kind of soothing. Pachabel’s canon in d comes to mind, tempo-wise. In perfect surfing conditions, the knot meter would pin at 10 and the high pitch would be hit in the surges - think Vivaldi. Great fun. if only the mast had also resonated!
