[quote=smfinley][quote=Prindle75]Can I expect to have my tell tales trimmed to perfection every time I'm on the lake or will there be conditions that will have an effect? [/quote]
I think the answer is NO. It depends on weather conditions. But in moderate air you should be able to get them fairly consistent. I was out today in 25-30 mph and I didn't give a darn what they were doing, I was concentrating more on keeping the pointy side up, but had a lot of fun doing it. Also wasn't racing, just having a good time. Water was cold too, back to about 57 degrees they said.

Yes at some point there is a max hull speed and an equilibrium point. You max speed on a given day will however change with water conditions (waves etc) and crew weight.[/quote]
