Subject: Target Boat Speed Upwind
Info: (11632 views) Posted: Tuesday 6-8-10 04:15:36 PM
Thanks. The only real reference point I have are the 3 Moore 24's here.

How should the Express compare to the Moore Upwind?

Faster/Slower/About the Same? Point Higher/Lower/About the Same?

::
:: :: New to the Express here in Hood River OR ( The Gorge )

:: :: have any other Express' to tune against and I don't see
:: :: a chance to get to SF Bay until the Fall at the
:: :: earliest, if this season at all. I've set the boat up
:: :: according to the guide in the Articles section.
:: ::
:: :: 90% of our racing is with the #3 (18+). Downwind we are
:: :: dialed. Upwind we are fast, but it's hard to tell
:: :: without another boat to compare to.
:: ::
:: :: Assuming our speedo is calibrated correctly, what should
:: :: we be shooting for with the #3 up going to weather?
:: ::
:: :: We have a couple well sailed Moore 24's here. How should
:: :: my upwind performance compare with theirs - pointing and
:: :: boatspeed?
:: ::
:: :: Thanks for the help. Absolutely love the boat.

:: A question I've always wondered about. I've had to
:: recalibrate speedo a few times and I think it is close
:: to accurate. I find with the #3 a speed of 5.4-5.7 keeps
:: my boat with those boats that are setting the pace.
:: Above 6 and I'm not pointing with the fast boats. I
:: don't know if my numbers are true targets. I regard the
:: speedo as not strictly accurate but a handy device to
:: judge boat speed in the absence of other express'. SDK
