knot meter reads slow

[chucklesR]

ON the other hand, sailing a cat at 9 knots is a lot more calming. Note the kid sleeping on the back seat of the catamaran.
No beefy crew guys with grinder muscles, a good time:

Chuckles,

My 2.5 year old twins will fall asleep with fire engines / police cars going by or in car on rough roads when they are tired. I do agree the speed differental is great between monos and multi's. I just learned on mono's and it was easier to find a good marina for a mono, otherwise I most likely would have a Cat.

SD. I hate to say it, I have never taken a vid of any of the boats that I have had or sailed. Usually too engaged in the moment to record it. Plus even with the wife and crew on - I usually am single handing the boat so that she can relax, and read.

Hertfordnc,

Couple of recommendations,

1) pull the paddle wheel and clean throughly, grease if desired, make sure it spins freely.

2) Reinstall, with the slot alignment, Arrow forward.

3) double check the calibration with the GPS, at slack tide when there is little wind, using two runs 180 degrees apart averaging the speed between the two runs to compare to the GPS average Speed of the two runs.

When I did this is took a bit of little time, but it ended up giving me the confidence that the reading is closed to accurate. I aways pull my paddle wheel and intall the dummy plug when I leave the boat. I do this to keep the growth to a minimum. Where I keep my boat, It will foul during the week while I am at work, within a week!

Best of luck
