G'day,

Tricky question, due to the flexing of the mast and the different
weights in the windward hull. From memory, the wind speed if the sail
and mast were rigid was 25 and 22 knots. Reality is closer to 30 and
high twenties. There is a formula (and some really interesting
articles) on John Shuttleworth's web page.

For some reason, some of your posts (and occasionally some other
people's) get stuck in the Yahoo filter and I have to unstick them
Not a big deal, but this explains why sometimes they take a while to
appear. If any posts don't appear, please let me know.

regards,

Rob
