    lower in the water the faster you go never heard of that one is it a sail boat issue only or the type of hull and sail set up i have been on lake ontario when she decides she wants to have a sudden and very bad day even with the sun out warm day but waves going over the bow clear up and over the helm windows and clear over to the aft deck on a 42ft sedan cruiser back in mid 1976 summer we had a rough time from pickering to trenton that day the boat looked like a small bomb went of inside we had my grand parents over from England and they had never seen a lake like this and how high the waves can get and the shear size of the lake i was 13yrs then and learned how to respect the great lakes great info for people who want to have a sail boat and what to do keep it up

    • @turtlecrossingsailing

      To this day, my worst sail has been on Lake Ontario. We've had some great sails on the lake, don't get me wrong. But the worst waves and the only time I've been scared so far, was crossing from Kingston to Oswego. And yeah, I think what Chris was saying was that we'd surpassed our hulls top speed... From that point the aft dips lower. Some boats have been sunk while being towed because the towing boat is towing too fast for the towed boats top hull speed... So they start sinking.

    its much too lte but the thru hull install was not correct. You want to push them in with the 4200 on them and then tighten the nut from the inside. you DO NOT want to twist the fitting as the sealant is compromised. If it were me i would redo them next time you haul out. You also want a bunch of sealant on threads going up the threads equal to the thickness of the hull and backing plate.

    • @turtlecrossingsailing
      @turtlecrossingsailing 19 днів тому

      We used a flanged style seacock not an inline valve which means there's no nut to turn. The thru-hull gets turned into the flanged seacock which is already mounted to ensure correct orientation. I can't imagine uncured 4200 would be compromised from this action. Thanks for looking out for us! Haven't had an issue with it yet.
