Ok I'm sorry I told him he is an idiot. :-) :-)
<br>
<br>Wouter should have "a depth of knowledge" he is studying(maybe done) to be a naval architect.
<br>This frustration builds up from reading 2-3 years worth of 'Wooter posts' and if you have noticed he has been attacked many times by many but never by me before. The rest of my statement still stands.
<br>
<br>I applaud his enthusiasm and effort.
<br>
<br>Ok maybe he can help me with this ...
<br>
<br>Dear Wouter,
<br>
<br>Following the link that Carl gave me, I had a look at the Word document named 'ISAF_SmCat_Rules210501.doc". I am creating a program that will give an appropriate sail area per weight graph for NA F20 using the ISAF system of equations.
<br>
<br>The problem is that one of the variable I came accross is undefined and unclear.
<br>Under section :"C.3.3. Corrections and Penalties" there is an equation as such "BR = VLB2 / MAB".
<br>
<br>My question to you or any that can help is ...
<br>
<br>What does the variable MAB stand for ? And how is it calculated ?
<br>
<br>My guess is that it is "maximun authorized board area" or CB.
