[quote=fmajor13]I need to further explain why a big shark, would be slower than a normal one. Its all about the weight. Sharks are heavy, I have seen 300 lbs listed.. (falling down laughing, try double)
To expand the boat by 1.25 would add at least a hundred pounds.. The trouble is the current sail area is 275 sq feet and the max allowed for a c cat is 300 so you are going the wrong way adding more weight than sail area.. Also I really dont like the look of the high performance sail plan on the old girl.. She is curvy so there..
What would be cool though is to mess around with a hydrofoil arm on the centerboard/daggerboard, At speed the boat is hydroplaning any way.. Kant the board and curve it.. could be cool.
So there you go.[/quote]
