Thanx Wouter,
<br>
<br>Always thought you where a nice guy and I never said any different.
<br>
<br>VLB has already been defined as:
<br>
<br>"VLB = Maximum board depth below the hulls"
<br>
<br>in the very same document.
<br>
<br>You claim that 'MAB = Mean or main area board'. Would you say that this is the underwater surface area of the board ?
<br>
<br>I will have a look at the calc for sail area as you suggest.
<br>
<br>cheers...
<br>Marc
