Had a great day yesterday, took a new boater out and let him helm for a while. When the wind picked up, we charged back home at 7.1 to 7.6 knots, right until I broached it, haha. The new boater had a big smile after that.
Does that seem like the top end, on flat water, with your 34 to 36 Hunter ?
Is that enough hull speed to race other 34-36's when it blows ?
Speed Variables;
broad reach, flat water, 3 blade prop , shoal draft, new bottom, with the full UK main and the assymmetrical flying, SOG recorded, against outgoing tide [at 2 hrs before a low tide], so no speed help there.
Thanks for your reply
