"The only raeson I say most boaters are ignorant ( note I never said stupid)...is most really don't know much about hull design, hull speed, better efficiencies, planning around current shifts, anchoring, etc...etc...they have never needed to in a lifetime of THEIR way of boating."
That may be a nail on the head statement. Hull functions to me are basically obvious where'as advancing my skills on this computer is anything but obvious. We should all make the best of our time ...on the water or anywhere. Those of us that go roaring off to calm waters when it gets a bit rough probably should spend some time aboard a truly capable sea boat. Or going out in the nasty w a truly capable helmsman to learn what you can do and see what your own boat can do. You may be surprised at both.
