[C320-list] Log Book Question

[jonvez at comcast.net]

Thanks Jean-Pierre...for the record I never questioned Adam's math on this as we can have some fairly strong currents here in New England (Cape Cod Canal and Woods Hole come to mind) and certainly can appreciate what the current can do for boat speed--I'm just having fun with Adam because I'm fairly certain that the 320 that doesn't have the fixed prop will be faster--including the physics thing around hull speed :) It's Friday and I'm stuck at work, what can I say....

Regards,

Jon
