Reply to: wire or tramp

[quote=Wolfman]Oh, I didn't even see the original post I thought we were talking physics. :) The answer to the original question. If he is 6'2" and 225 lbs sitting on the windward hull and wants the same righting force as being out of the trap. Assuming the boat has an 8' beam and his center of gravity is 3' of his height. Righting force sitting on hull = 8x225 = 1800 ft-lbs Righting force out on trap = 11x225 = 2475 ft-lbs Righting force (torque) is directly proportional to distance and weight therefore:2475/1800 = 137.5% So you would have to be 137.5% heavier on the hull than on the trap to have the same effect. In other words you would have to be my sister-in-law. :-D D.[/quote]
