Liferaft Hulls (Gludy design)

What is the panel's preferred shape?

I have it on good authority that in a Nor/Nor/Westerly F8 and above a flat shape is most efficient. However in a cyclonic wind-over-tide beam broach sea an undulating, perforated profile is much more stable.

Optimum performance is also influenced by which type of kitchen appliances are on board.

A 6 man valise with a small flask and a food mixer would present no problems in a westerly F4, but a 4 man canister with an Aga is a no-no in anything above a gentle breeze.



AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Nurse, nurse...

PS. Clearly fruit has no place in a marine environment and should be avoided at all costs

Oi, I was finding your posts amusing (well slightly anyway) until you cast aspertions towards the Land of my Father (well Mother actually). Don't be so personal ,or in this case racist, otherwise you will have to eat that deep fried Fray Bentos on a piquant base of lava bread - ta boyo!!
