Re: Gender roles in sailing and cruising
You don't have to be wealthy, but you do need wealth (or assets, if you prefer). Something like 1 in 5 Americans has negative net worth. Net worth increases dramatically with age, so a pretty strong...

Re: Gender roles in sailing and cruising
Yachting is a wealth thing. We could start a new, super-contentious thread on the subject. This is a very expensive hobby. Even younger, budget cruisers, usually come from middle-class families and...

Re: Gut feeling on boat sizes.
This does suggest the wisdom in faster (usually larger) boats having less chance at grief due to faster passage times.
Another possibly interesting sideline is wave power. Wikipedia gives the...

Re: Gut feeling on boat sizes.
I suppose we could just divide SA by LOA. Here's some examples:
Cal 20
LOA: 20 ft
Sail Area: 195 sq ft
SA/LOA: 9.5 *We made this ratio up :biggrin:
Island Packet 38

Re: Gut feeling on boat sizes.
In thinking only of the square cube ratio, you're missing beam to length ratio. Larger boats/ships have significantly lower beam/length ratios than the small boats most of us own.

Re: Gut feeling on boat sizes.
I'm not an NA, but longer boats tend to have lower displacement to length (D/L) ratios. One reason for this is beam/length ratio becoming much lower.
Longer boats usually carry less sail and...

Wrong. I realize you're simply trolling at this point, but I'll humor you.

Get over the "soy feminizes men" nonsense. The data on that is scant at best. Somehow Asian men have managed to procreate and maintain male-dominated societies, despite thousands of years of soy...

I couldn't say. The Formosa I'd guess late 70s. The CT was probably newer, but the owner had put more love into her. Both had Perkins engines IIRC.

Slick set-up noelex.
Pretty much what I figured, but having the 'tank' be more of a basin is something I wouldn't have thought of. Great idea and multi-functional.

Leaving from a mooring or dock is fine, but the anchor is too heavy for her to haul alone. We're low budget, so a windlass is down the priorities. It's not realistic to expect someone to haul...
