[Rhodes22-list] Sailing suggestion.

[Bob Weber]

Dave, Flat bottom = 18 foot of waterline
Healed bottom = 19 foot of waterline
Who Cares?
The limitation of your maximum speed is based on waterline - Longer boats 
can go faster
Hull speed = Square root of the wateriine * 1.3 (51/2 kn) flat or 5.7 heeled

If you ever see sailors on the lee side of the boat using their weight to 
heel the boat on light wind days that is the principle they are going from.
