Re: Catamaran tacking angles , really that bad???

Race to New Caledonia is too short. Make it round the world. 10 times. Non stop.

I'll give you two laps head start.

Off you go.

Re: Catamaran tacking angles , really that bad???

Strange, it seems like you think we really care what kind of boat you sail. And certainly the extra cost could be hard to justify, depending on your priorities. The mass produced built-for-charter...

Re: Catamaran tacking angles , really that bad???

Of course, nothing would ever convince you. Even the fact that when we returned from Vanuatu to Australia we got in a day before the weather deteriorated, and a Lagoon got caught in the 35 knot...

It's a long time ago, but no, I don't think we did.

Re: Catamaran tacking angles , really that bad???

Sure, tacking angles can be important, and you can improve them simply by slowing down. Which could also be a good idea in tight places.

Re: Catamaran tacking angles , really that bad???

I'm not sure too many (catamaran) people have claimed 80degree tacking angles?

Anyway, as I've frequently pointed out, the reason there's a difference between AWA and TWA is because the boat is...

Re: Catamaran tacking angles , really that bad???

Trigonometry is real.

Anyway, my point was, I didn't think that was the best Roam could have done to windward. They were close reaching numbers, not beating to windward numbers.

Re: Catamaran tacking angles , really that bad???

Using the numbers Roam quoted, that boat would have been tacking through around 140 degrees, and making less than 3 knots VMG in a 10 kt breeze.

I'm quite sure that boat can do better than that,...

Re: Catamaran tacking angles , really that bad???

I asked them about this, because in a fast cat 38 degrees apparent is barely upwind at all. (Extreme racing boats sail tighter angles than this downwind) He said they had originally asked for a very...

Re: Catamaran tacking angles , really that bad???

Not 20 degrees, closer to 30 degrees. We usually sail upwind at around 30 degrees. TWA more like 50, so tacking through around 100, plus leeway.

We could tack through tighter angles, simply by...

That's our high tech rainwater collection system. We sit a couple of buckets under them, they flick the rainwater right into the buckets.
