Question for the Elderly: Bath or shower? What's your preference?

Because you are speaking of a SAIL BOAT not a power boat, you need to make sure the hull is as aerodynamic as possible (Yes aerodynamic, water is thick air) make sure it is smooth and you might polish it. Next look at the rigging, if you have a complex enough craft you might have what are called “running backstays” that allow you to keep the mast erect enough to keep the lift area of the sail at an optimum position. The sail is similar to a wing with a high an low pressure area and if you can control the low pressure area you can get more out of the sail. Try and avoid having the main pulled too tight at the boom, this flattens out the foot of the sail and will hurt how it perform. If you have a working jib, try changing to a Jennoa (might not be spelled properly) jib. These carry more area and if used correctly can double the total sail area. The “Jenny” can help you outpoint your opponent and in the long run you can overtake your opponent blanket his wind and because you outpoint him/her keep them from coming back at you. So make sure your hull is straight and slick keep tour mast and running gear tuned, work on your techniques and have a great time.

How can I know tht if my girlfriend is cheating me or not?

faster servos would be my first choice, then streamline as much as poss. lose the weight where ever you can, anything unnecessary I would take out.

What is..??


good luck

Mercury boat motor?

well if you can modify so that you can use a higher powered battery, you will GREATLY increase the speed. Also, there are also things to think about as far as the aerodynamics of your boat.

I want to buy a boat, but I don't know what to look for.?

Always make sure the batteries are fresh. RC products quickly drain batteries (that is assuming your product uses batteries and not gas). Also, be sure that nothing is protruding from the boat that would cause it to be less aerodynamic (if you have an antenna maybe tape it down without damaging it).

How would i dock a boat to a sea wall?

Is your boat a one design class?? If so, you can probably get a set of high performance sails. If it is not a class boat you can still improve performance with well made and shaped sails. Also fair the hull completely. Remove all rough areas or mold impressions and wax and polish the hull. If possible, reduce weight aloft. Learn sail trim and how to read the wind as well as your boat as conditions change. Learn to anticipate changes in conditions. A good sailor can 'see' the wind.
