I have been hoping that there would be some more explanations of the latest Blind Date video, particularly regarding the spray, but haven't seen any, so I would like to post some questions?

Where is the wind coming from? Directly off the beam? Forward? Aft?

What part of the ww hull is producing most of the spray that reaches the cockpit area? Right at the bow? Amidships? 1/4 of the way back from the bow?

I think Rob suggested that a windward shelf, like in the original Harry, might help, but it seems like the shelf was really only prominent amidships. Should we consider a "bow shelf" to ww? What would that imply for burying the ww bow?

I know, I should complain about spray when a cruising boat hits 15-16 knots, but I am firmly in the "feet up, sipping a glass of red wine" speed sailing crowd... hmm... maybe that isn't a crowd, but it should be!

Any spray insights from Artu, from your recent cruise?

Thanks,

- Gardner
