Mark now she looks positively FD. Are you shure that pic's level?
"Dancing Angles" .. "Pinhead ratio" ....... BS ratio?
And psneeld is crying out for NUMBERS and reference ratios.
It seems many here feel that if they wish it hard enough and long enough their SD boat will become a FD boat. It seems many think a FD boat is a real trawler and a SD is a make believe or "wannabe" trawler. Since a huge majority of trawlers are SD it seems to me the opposite should be true. The real trawler is SD. I would rather have a SD boat. I've said many times the ideal boat (for me) is a 12 knot boat. And in my size that's not even close to FD. If one has the money why would they aspire to slug along at significantly less than hull speed?
Any comments see the new thread "SD/FD".
