[alberg30] Re: Alberg Speed

Robert,
    Since the LWL on the Alberg is very short, you really can't go by the
regular formula.  Calculated with 0 degree heel, hull speed is 6.2 kts.
Fortunately, the Alberg heels a lot and the LWL increases, making hull speed
when heeled somewhere around 6-7 kts.  If you are trimmed in too tight
though, and have a lot of weather helm, the rudder will actually slow you
down.
