[C320-list] Hull speed

[Orlando.Duran at AveryDennison.com]

If you're doing 9kn on a consistent basis, go ahead and take out the owner's manual and learn to calibrate your knot meter...

With a  following sea, 20kn of wind, going wing-on-wing in the Marina del Rey to Seal Beac race two years ago we did 10kn once and 9kn for about an hour..

I have made 7.3 on the knot meter once or twice in idea conditions, flat
water, off the wind and not surfing. This is within the margin of error
of the knot meter as compared to the theoretical hull speed. I'm sure 9
kts is not possible.

Without gps you don't know your sog - speed over ground - what are you
using to measure "over 9 knots"?
(Doubt your speed)

Hull speed is 1.34 X sq root of waterline length...which comes out to
7.1.  
As for speed thru the water or gps speed, I get over 9 knots (thru  the
water) 
on a reach, don't have a gps so ground speed is not available.
