[C320-list] Log Book Question

[Adam Weiner]

And it helps us get the supplies out of the dinghy.

Just remember friends, old sailors never die, they just get a little
dinghy.

Don't forget that the ladder is down serving as a drogue...

You're absolutely correct.  No prop *would* be better than a folding
prop (for speed).  And infinitely better than a fixed prop.  

...Unless it's on Adam's boat which makes 9kts under sail in 5kts of
wind with a 3-blade fixed prop and dragging his dinghy behind loaded
with cooking
supplies (at night, during dinner).   Gawd I wish I had his boat...   :)

No prop is better than folding is my new saying.

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
