That's a nice problem to have :-) I suppose the first step would be to estimate your static wind drag (see Hinz for method, or ask me for a spreadsheet that does that given your frontal and beam-on areas), then see how it compares to the holding power tests.

<<estimated 1.3 million people are expected to turn out in Sydney for the A$15 million fireworks display to end the 20th century, and more than 5,000 recreational boats and at least 300 charter vessels are likely to pack the harbor.

Apparently Boojum's small size is keeping the shop from using more than one or two workers at a time, which is pushing out schedules although man-hours are not too far from original estimates. Current target is to be out of the joinery shop by early October and ready for launching sometime in November. Maybe by Christmas?

It seems clear to me, based on my limited understanding of all position finding systems from celestial to GPS, that the only way I can know (not estimate) my ship's heading is by reference to a magnetic or gyro compass, or by measuring the relative bearing of the sun or other celestial objects.

Will a pair of golf cart batteries, estimated 560 CCA, serve well as a starting bank for my 135 Leyman? Thanks, in advance. Steve Anderson / Go Huskies!

That might put the 100-ton limit somewhere around 65' (too messy to calculate a general estimate of length) and the 200-ton limit just over 100' for vessels of ordinary form factor. Ben

I may be being a little heavy-handed in estimating the probable labor charges, but I also know that no job is ever as straightforward as it initially appears.
