An interesting read on design...Predicted Performance.

I wonder if a similar document exists for the deep-draft fin keel...

Crackaloon, are you a member of the S2 27 Yahoo group?

Here's the link if you are not a member. Specific info on our boats.

Thanks for sharing that. It has great discriptions of the data fields.

It's interesting that G&S would SELL copies of the polars, most designers (Finot, Farr, etc) have always made them publicity available. They want ALL their boats to be quick.

Share your fast.

It was a while ago, so maybe things were done differently at the time?

Maybe, I know for the sure Finot VPPs have always been free. Not sure when Farr started but they have been free for a long time as well. But Finot designed boats with them; you get the sense that G&S got the program after most of the boats were already designed and on the water, and they went BACK, modeled the boats in the software, and ran the VPP. Maybe someone justified the computer and SW cost to their boss with the story they could sell the plots. Who knows???

The group has a moderator.

Maybe he hasn't received your request to join the group. Yahoo changed the format a while back...perhaps that's part of the problem.

I have tried several times to join this group, to no avail.

I specifically joined the yahoo groups to get on that one. I've tried 3 times. 4 other groups let me join, but not that one. I had given up really.

The moderator sent me a message that you have been approved for the Yahoo group.
