[quote=tominpa][quote=klozhald]I think in simple terms.
If your boards or transoms or rudders are making noise, that is slow.
Boards should always be filling the opening and not allowing noisy cavitation.
Transoms should be out of the water enough to be quiet.
This is controlled by weight distribution.
If you are in heavy air and your heartbeat is louder than your transoms, that is OK too.[/quote]
Huge difference for me this year since I fared and refinished the rudders on mine. I don't race, but the boat used to have a lot of harmonics at speed. That is gone since I got rid if obvious and bad imperfections and the boat seems faster...I dunno but it was kinda fun when the boat was howling over the water.[/quote]
