How much faster will the boat sail with a super smooth hull and a feathering prop? Given reasonable weather.
Rival 34, easily sails at 5 to 6.5 kts in suitable conditions, faster at times
Layer upon layer of cracked and pitted old AF laboriously removed.
As I scrape and scrape I’m trying to make the pain all seem worthwhile by working out (guessing) how many extra nautical miles I’ll sail in a 24 hour day
A quarter of a knot for the AF, half a knot for the feathering prop? 18 nms over 24 hours?
