Gentlemen,

Capt. Jimbo is evidently going to continue to blow smoke up your collective butts as long as he can, so allow me to intervene.

The motivation for Jimbo's initial question was specious, he knows the answer.. he's been haunting a few of the other design boards as well, looking for ammunition to fuel the debate that has raged over at KFS for waaaaay to long now. (link Included)

Instead of just asking a straight question.. and telling you why he's asking, he's gonna play dumb and jerk everyone around?

Jimbo's not wrong per se, but he's employing the Straw Man for certain.

The original post over at KFS dealt with hypotheticals, it was meant to start a discusion about (obviuosly) boat length. I wanted to look at just how much difference there was in resistance as you moved up through the common sizes of rec. boat's, and I wanted to keep some things constant, (I was specificaly interested in Cp for example) so the boats were all modled after one another, and the Cp remained constant, which i thought was a nifty way to illustrate how numbers changed

if the paddlers weights had been constant, then I would have had different Cp specs.. not my point at all.

I said from the outset of that post that the displacement numbers would not remain constant. I mad ethe mistake, however, of posting the input paddler weights (before feeding it through the program) istead of the output weights ... Jimbo was off and running.. and here we are

If I was wrong i have no problem with that.. I do have issue with people who are less than straightforward however!

Sorry for the interruption, sorry KFS's dirty laundry made it out in public.

The issue in question
