Chips without salt & vinegar?

You will be wanting tomato ketchup or mayonnaise on them next.

Wow, there must have been a lot of tide in that deep water. Or have you joined the “my boat is significantly faster than its waterline length would tell”. You’re in good company within this thread

The only chips I remember having in Ostend was many yonks ago. Our son was diabetic, so I accompanied him to the friterie stall for some carbohydrates and we chose something called sauce Andalouse to go with our shared chips. It was so fiery that we could hardly talk by the time we got back to the boat.

It's the square toot of the LWL we need, not the LOA.
But perhaps you two would better stop this unless want another candidate for mythical A22 status.

Rubber technologists always need to have a mech eng nearby to help them with basic skills

As an aside, I reckon that the fiddle factor for the V34 hull shape would be closer to 1.0.

Nice looking boat, though.

I used to do lots of that when my grandfather was alive & when I had my holiday home in berwick upon Tweed.
But now I know where you got your inclination to exaggerate from. Many fishermen add a couple of inches to the one that got away.

Nothing mythical about the A22
It was Seajet who was mythical

I've never had reason to add a couple of inches to anything

I have reefing lines so I can keep tension on the main halyard whilst cranking down the reefing lines with the boom centered and mainsheet taught.
