Noise [was Micro Upgrade]
Hi Bruce
We love the sound of water splashing against the hull of a boat. Soothing,
I'd call it. Our experience was that Micro's hull form behaves differently.
In moderately rough water moorings the experience is akin to trying to sleep
inside a giant toddler's toy drum. Another Micro sleep-aboard described it
as [I paraphrase] 'trying to sleep inside a tumble dryer along with a
bowling ball and a pair of tennis shoes'.
At anchor, your head is close to the point of impact for the wavelets, and
the flat hull traps them nicely. The hull resonates very effectively. If the
fillets work they will be a welcome addition :)
cheers
