Hi Bill,
Starting off Monday with a bang, huh?
Re the EU: Go back to what Harry Browne says about dealing with
bureaucracies, to wit (freely translated and as I remember): Do what you
want to do because by the time they get around and in position to cause you
any real trouble you'll either be dead of old age, they'll have changed the
system or you'll have sold the boat . In any case the perceived problem is
moot, i.e. build the boat you want and don't think about it.
If your MP can't get any information, can you see the EU guys trying to wade
through the miasma of UK common law just to get into position to give you a
ticket for an improper boat design, or even if you're tied up to their dock?
Maybe I'm too cavalier about this and maybe they're better organized than
I'd guess, but I think not!
BTW: At the moment sitting here checking email and having a cup of the
Scottish Blend Tea that you sent over. Yummy, thanks again!
Happy Ranting!

Thanks, Pippo,
That all fits in with my own experience. Being such a shallow hull, ballast
would never get very low, and would probably only serve to slow the boat
down. The slack bilges give the Chebacco a good turn of speed (low wetted
area) - especially helpful in light airs. One factor that isn't considered,
though, is the effect of crew weight - which is VERY significant on a light
displacement boat like Chebacco. Her behaviour is very much dependent on
how the crew weight is distributed. She can stand up to some very rough
weather with three fatties sitting on the weather bench. Just a big dinghy
really.
It's a matter of horses for courses - The trick is to know your horse before
committing to it! I'm fortunate in my choice of Chebacco for the shallow
estuary sailing that I do 95% of the time - more by luck than good
judgement, though!
Incidentally, how does DSF relate to the Euro categories A, B, C, and D . .
. ? Or is there a simple relationship?

Hi Bill - According to the numbers, well, yes, some ballast would
increase the dry displacement and lower the center of mass. My results
say that the Chebacco is less than average in the following parameters:
Displacement-lenght factor ( the boat is light w.r.t to its size)
Beam-displacemnt factor (the beam is too wide)
Self righting factor (the Chebacco has a very small righting moment at
90 degrees of heel)
Relative area factor (the range of stability is somehow low)
On the other hand, the Chebacco is right on the average in the
Stability speed loss ratio (should sail reasonably well in rough water),
and better than average in the Sail area displacement beam lenght factor
(good ability in carrying sail).
Some ballast down below would stiffen the boat and increase the DSF, not
dramatically though, provided that the overall dispacement remains the
same. I don't think you can realistically increase the DSF to a value of
more than 15.
Best, Pippo

Thanks, Pippo,
I wasn't sure, but thought it might be something like that. Presumably a
little ballast low down would help? Do you know how that compares with a
Drascombe Lugger, for example? The other interesting boat in this class is
the Falmouth Bass Boat, which is supposed to be category C (Inshore?)

Dear Bill - it's right on the border between inshore and sheltered,
depending on how high the gravity center is w.r.t. to the waterline. I
estimate that, given the shape of the Chebacco, the DSF is a bit
underestimated for the boat.
Best, Pippo

I know you've done a detailed analysis of Chebacco's characteristics. Which

nested loops... What does it mean, plainly?
(fetch effects).
working group. As far as I know, it has not yet been finalized. I've
tried to retrace the original document without success up to now. In
any case, here are the parameters that go into the calculations (hope
not to forget anything):
Length out all
Length at water level
Maximum beam
Beam at water level
Canoe body draft
Sail area
Displacement
Righting arm at 90 degrees of heel
Metacentric heigth
Stability range (draw the stability curve, compute the areas above and
below the zero and compute the ratio between the two)
Then you compute some 7 parameters with a few formulas, and finally you
get your DSF. I think the method gives meaningful results.

Fellow Bolger Boat Builders --
I read Pippo's exposition on the micro with considerable interest.
It's always fun to see what people who know what they are doing think
about when they do what they do (like design boats.)
This might come under the "there's no such thing as a stupid
question" catagory, but just what do those 4 DSF categories mean?
What IS the difference between sheltered and inshore, offshore and
ocean?
I suppose it doesn't matter much, with enough stupidity and/or
hubris, you can get your butt kicked on just about any body of water.
But if people are taking measurements and making distinctions, I'd
like to know what's going into the calculation.
