[C38] Heel

[D McC]

Just to add my 20°.... I heard or read somewhere that a 20° heel presents  the 
longest waterline and therefore the highest potential  speed/efficiency.
I sail by feel and when it all feels right the boat seems to be at her  best. 
One of these days I'll look at the inclinometer when the feeling  is right and 
report back.......

The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span those hours spent in sailing.

When in doubt, try the vice You haven't tried before!

I've heard that the 38 takes the most advantage of her hull displacement when 
healed at 17... Is this too much??? I think 15 degrees is my sweet spot..
