Re: infinite schooner stability
I suppose. I seem to recall hearing about a certain infamous incident on
a very long, internally subdivided vessel whose bulkheads didn't rise
all the way the level of the gunwhales. They made a movie about it not
too long ago....

I don't think you need to worry all that much about flotation unless you
are worried about structural problems, in which case I think people
could just step into the next section. Most of the sails are going to be
pretty small for a 4 foot wide, dead flat boat with a prismatic
coeffiecient of 1. I'll bet two sections could handle the rig of the
folding schooner.

NAh, I'm just thinking of coast guard problems and mom and dad
concerns. Better safe than sorry.
