Re: How sailboat leeway depends on a boat speed?

Re: How sailboat leeway depends on a boat speed?

But all these things (mast rake, mast prebend, sail age/selection for the conditions, batten selection, ...) make boats completely different from each other, not identical!

Re: How sailboat leeway depends on a boat speed?

Re: Sailboat names

So, if I got it right: Nautilus is a good name and Jini brings severe bad luck, because it also stands for some magical creature, spirit, correct?
And what "Coast Guard test" is like?
