hobby horsing
Hey Dan,
I've read that in small boats especially that weight concentrated in the middle will CAUSE the boat to hobbyhorse.
With 338's remake, adding all the stuff and contemplating adding more stuff - my only reasoning has been to add weight thruout the length of the hull.
Anybody experimenting with this? I'd like to know!
EG, with 3 in the cockpit, would it make sense to
move weight below
toward the bow to create more punch and less lift?
If this reasoning is correct,
do you regatta racers do this?
Wouldn't it help to keep the waterline longer
for the continuous speed you must have?
(less horsing around)
The bow of the A/C is really the only location
you have to increase waterline length. Yes?
