here's what I propose to try and measure at Tradewinds:
(2) Inter 20's - one older, one newer (noting whether or not beams have been seated)
(2) Nacra F18s - one with unseated beams, one with seated beams
(2) Tigers (noting whether or not beams have been seated).
(1) Nacra 6.0 (2 if possible) - round beams might be interesting.
A Supercat of some sort (Eric, how about your 21?)
(1) Hobie 16 (just for comparison - since we're really talking about modern construction I thought this might be interesting but not really part of the study).
(?) Anybody else willing. Hobie Wave?
I'll put together a step by step test proceedure in the next day or so if you guys want to proceed.
Need help with the following that probably will not be at Tradewinds. I think we can get comparable results on the test whether or not the test boat is rigged since I plan to do all testing is done with loose and floppy rigging.
Blade F18, any other F18s, Tornados, Acats??
