One fun number from my notes: The downwind best polars for a Santa Cruz 70 ULDB show that in 4 knots TWS the TWA should be 134, the AWA should be 77, the BS should be 4.0 knots, and your downwind VMG should be 2.8 knots.
One last trivia before we put the Westsail 32 fleet down for a hard earned nap. There is a truly astounding number associated with the Westsail 32. For a quart of Macapuno with organic blueberries on the deck at CBC, what is the allowable length for a Westsail 32 whisker pole in the SHTP, assuming you do not take a penalty by exceeding the 155% jib overlap allowed by NCPHRF.
A. 18.3' B. Longer than a Wilderness 21. C. Longer than the Cal 2-27 DURA MATER. D. Longer than the Hawkfarm 28 EYRIE E. Longer than the O-29 HEDGEHOG. F. Too long to fit aboard the Alerion 38 SURPRISE! between her headstay and backstay. G. 7 feet longer than a stock Santa Cruz-70 spinnaker pole.
