Hi Jake
Great web site ,-great skiff pic also ,--thanks
One note when you do the towing experiment ,
Just tieing a line on the bows or bridle from the power boat transom will produce a pull up force when towed .
The C E center of effort ,--on the sail has to be taken into account .
Not sure absolutly but you may need to calculate the C E and tow from that mast point to simulate sail forces .
Crew placement becomes another question .
On the wire ,-good time to test out that safety line system ,
Hope the mast insurance is paid up --{joking }
Thanks Jake ,looking forward to the test results .
Happy New Year
Carl
