[C38] Polars on the website

[Steve Smolinske]

LOL Chuck, 

 

Larry, the best way to make sure that your boat is  at the proper angle
of heel is to always have your rail at or just below the waterline when
reaching or pointing, when running down wind (which you should never do)
make sure  you set your course so that your pole is always as far
forward as you can carry it, this will also help to insure  that  your
boat is heeling properly when the spinnaker is up.

Larry,
It is probable you folks out thataway don't use the same vernacular.
For us, heel is a measurement telling how far that pointy thingy
sticking out of the top of your boat is tilting toward the water.  We
have several ways of spelling it on my boat:

1.  Heel.  This is when the pointy thingy is straight up or a wee bit
tilty.
2. Hell. Is what my wife calls it when the tilty thingy is about half
way between straight up and the water.
3. Heal. Is what I do after my wife gets through with me if the tilty
thingy goes much further.

I hope this helps!

Well Charles, we have never measured our heel nor do we have a device to
do so.  So, anyone have some input here?  I'm quite sure Steve S is
going to heel well in the Trans Pac though, maybe even knock down, that
is if he gets out of the slip with his new 26 inch prop that our diver
is going to install for him in Rainbow Harbor.

 






Best regards,

I have just uploaded the promised Polars to the Members area of the
website.  It is in the Racing section even though it will help all of us
whether cruising or racing.  It is surprising how much this helps course
plotting and best VMG.   All the calculations are here including tables
and extra plots so you can develop your own given modifications made.  

There is also a good discussion and calculation of Static Stability
which buttresses our discussion a short time ago.    While it
mathematically says we can safely heel 61 degrees.... I am not going to
test this!  Perhaps that is something our Transpac folks could test and
report on?

Steve, will do while you are in your slip in Rainbow Harbor, just keep
in mind not to put the 26 inch prop on until you are ready to leave your
slip for the start line.

Larry, I don't have any nice pics of my transom if you could be so kind
as to snap a few for me along the course J
