Re: Sea Sense, Real Life, Chi Hbr
Absolutely confirm that. At one point last Saturday as I was heading 'upstream' in the fairway at Itchenor, just above the Itchenor SC when I was confronted by 2 v. large Stinkies overtaking another, ie. 3 abreast at a reasonable pace but taking up the whole channel for some distance - and the wash!!. Coming back down channel later, the resident of one moored Raggie called out to me 'Bloody M25 here today!'. 'Smells like it' I replied!.

Well, if you read my post you can see I refer to Power Boats and also made the point that Yachts were causing excessive wash as well on Sunday. You are correct, all craft move and cause disturbance, but 250,000 tonnes fully laden at 7kts makes less wash than a 10tonne Yacht or Power Boat at displacement wave speed.

Really? Can you explain, as it seems unlikely to me.
big tanker is displacing 250,000 tons through 700ft per minute. or 392x10**9 ft-lbs per minute. A 10 ton yacht would have to be travelling at 175,000 kts to displace water at the same rate.
Wow!! they do move fast in your neck of the woods, I am glad I am a muddie.
