[C38] Polars on the website

[Larry Malmberg]

Could I use a tumbler filled with Scotch (sailing fluid) and accomplish the
same effect?  Maybe one inserted into one of those cup holders that swivel??
I mean, this would be the cheapest instrument I have ever bought.  LOL

Larry,
    We have a tippy meter (inclinometer) mounted on the forward bulkhead of
the cockpit under the door. I crewed on an Ericson 32 in ocean racing class
D of the Overton series. We ran the boat by our instruments which were a
compass and a tippy meter. We changed sail when we had too many (or too few)
tippys.  We use it constantly on the 38. The boat sails best going to
weather with 10 to 15 degrees of heel. More than that and you are dragging
your big fat hull thru the water. The one we have is plastic and cost about
$15. Joe

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
