I would submit that in general, if you can build you hp for say $20,000 and can go out and sail twice as fast as boats that cost similar and only get matched for pace by $100,000 boats then you are the comparitive winner overall.

Obviously the hp can have most of its total weight in ww
hull, whereas cat has to keep it 50/50.

|So the argument can't really begin on an even keel.



Doug makes a good point. Perhaps i missed something too,
but it looks like you made the HP a cat, to make it fair.



Also, and this might be a language thing, but we don't
want fair. We want accurate, don't we?



Not that the thought experiment was not great. Thanks for
it, and I am still chewing on it. Neat to see a physical
representation of the vectors.



Rob, a few posts ago, said cats use weight, and hps use
width, which is lighter and cheaper. I think it's fair
to object to normalizing weight and width.



Perhaps add a third boat. A typical, non normalized HP?
Still constrained by the same weight/cost?



To visualize the more realistic comparison?
