[Rhodes22-list] Hunting at anchor/ swing radius

[Todd Tavares]

   I am sure all of you seasoned sailors already know this formula ....
   Swinging Radius =
   LOA + [ (Rode length )2 - (Depth + Freeboard )2 ]1/2
   The bold numbers should be exponents... but I do not know how to get
   my text editor to type them.
