I believe there is an optimum angle of heel after which you actually lose speed due to increased drag.

Hi Kenny,

I believe this is the optimum angle of heel.

absolutely correct Bob!

an alert boater-photojournalist must have spotted a perfectly trimmed  :clap and heeled c34, with the Chicago skyline as a back drop and captured the picture that will "live in infamy"

thanks,

And how, pray tell, would anyone know it is a Catalina 34 with no insignia on the mainsail!???!!!??! :cry4` :cry4` :cry4`

OK, OK, if they tell me it is, I'll believe anything!

Nice boat, there, Ken!  Nice background, too.
