so the rule only applies to displacement hulls and not dinghys that can plane ?
- what is the definition of planing ? when your boat speed exceeds that of the bow wave ?
thanks a bunch.
The theoretical speed of a planing boat with unlimited wind and waves and perfect crew work is only limited by the equipment, you can go faster untill it breaks =P
Does that mean that the boat can go so fast as to leave the bow wave all togeather?
although it sounds silly, i have to ask:
why dont they make boats with a really big sail and really big racks for trapezing off ?
Isn't is impossible to leave the bow wave all together without being a WIG? Or maybe hydrofoils maybe, but anyways... I think of it as you climb over the bow wave, it simply moves farther and farther aft. You can't stop creating one...
Well you'll always make some kind of wave but it won't really be the same as the bow wave made by a boat in displacement mode.Isn't is impossible to leave the bow wave all together without being a WIG?

bigger bigger bigger
i know im exaggerating a bit, but what stops you from having a sail the size of a yacht and some racks the size of well, something big...
kp
i know its a bit of an offshoot, but (in order to increase max speed) why isnt the boom built so it extends off the back of the boat, increasing sail size ?
i can see this going around in circles
another question : on which point of sail are you most likely to reach maximum boat speed ???
