JK; another wonderful collection of photos; these, as with the prior binders,
are just awesome to peruse; sometimes you can feel the water and her the sails
flap in in the breeze! Thank you for sharing these photos;

Calypso’s winter will start off brightly lit as I will be decorating her with
Christmas lights for the first time. The Port Ludlow marina sponsors a
competition and a party. There’s rumor of a informal lighted boat parade which
I will join if I can recruit reliable crew.
After that it’s back to
No, but we did add "turbulators" to the tail section of the GBU-24
Bunker Buster Guided Bomb to break up the boundary layer between the
bomb body and the wing section, causing turbulent flow over the wings.

Here's an interesting article explaining the benefits of a smooth bottom, keel
and rudder. There is actually some testing that went into the results. Worth a
read. https://www.gp14.org/a-smooth-bottom-is-a-fast-bottom/

Yes (if spinning) and No (as it adds lateral resistance).
Going with a smooth surface is the overall best approach as it promotes smoot

I have been considering what kind of bottom paint to use in the future and it
seems that most racers have a very hard/smooth/burnished bottom on their boats.
So, I was wondering if there is data to support that this is important. One

IMHO the C&C 33 3/4 Ton Special - and maybe the "ordinary" 33 - are good boats
for PHRF. We raced against one for years and probably beat them over the line
50% of the time. They rated something like 144 to our 120, so actually beating
them on corrected time was quite hard to do. The boats seeme
