    Ebb, we were writing at the same time!

    this is re Frank's response.

    Right, I did read that! I'm sure you're glad you weren't going against it.

    Nonetheless, 5.76 knots isn't really an accurate estimate of our hull speed. I doubt that my 7.2 is top speed. Likely "theoretical" hull speed doesn't calculate actual sailing but just the mass of a boat at rest at the waterline/sail area/water density/etc - and therefore everyone's hull speed is simply a comparable average that isn't exactly true to the real sailing of each boat.

    So the question "what will she do?" stands...

    I know I sound hung up on this heel and speed thing but I am really just curious
