E34-2 water entering bilge through exhaust

[Phr3d]

all engine rpm and prop efficiency questions you have to have speed thru the water.

I stand corrected. We have not had the boat out in heavy wind.


I saw 7.0 + at full throttle on the way back from the boat yard.

At 2500 rpm - 5.5 to 6.0 depending on wind

This trip we saw a lot of 7 on a reach with a number 3 (and true even after 1 reef on the main as the admiral doesn't care for heeling).

We have not surfed the boat this season, but previous record of 7.9 was flying gennaker - regular day waves/air. In hindsight, I'm pretty happy the worn axle on the Edson steering sheaves lasted long enough to have been replaced...
