[Rhodes22-list] Sailing suggestion.

Dave:

        Dave said, "By heeling a typical keel boat aren't you moving mass
above the water line?" Dave what mass are you referring to?  What comes up
on one side is going down on the other.  Only Rummy has recorded putting
keel mass at water level.  

Ron,
       Ron said, "The amount of energy will depend on the boat displacement,
the height of the wave generated, and the shape of the hull.  That's a hard
thing to calculate.
       Surely a Physicist could calculate that?

This has been a great discussion, too bad old Roger P is not in it this
time.  Has it been decided whether the Rhodes 22 can plane?  Can it really
exceed hull speed?  What does it take to achieve going faster than hull
speed?
