Welcome to Navel Gazing at Camp David Shorts. I'm your host Johnathan. In this video, we're delving into the world of catamarans to uncover the significance of Catamaran Displacement-to-Length Ratio (D/L). Join us as we explore how the D/L ratio influences a catamaran's capacity to carry loads, fuel efficiency, and its capabilities for long-distance cruising. It's the key to efficient and enjoyable voyages! For a deeper dive into this topic, consider these reputable references: "The Multihull Sailor's Bible" by Joseph Neale, International Marine, 1997. "Catamarans: The Complete Guide for Cruising Sailors" by Gregor Tarjan, International Marine, 2007. Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel, Navel Gazing at Camp David, and watch full tours and reviews of catamarans and monohulls with your host, David Orton. ⛵

1st November 5pm Update – 3 Hours into the 2024 Melbourne to Devonport Race The fleet is settling into Bass Strait, enjoying flat seas and 15 knots from the south in what has been termed "peachy conditions." Leading the fleet are MRV and eXtasea, with the fleet staying just east of the rhumb line. In an interview at 4pm, Rod Smallman on Maverick predicted that those who pick the right time to tack may have the advantage, as they await a wind change later tonight. He went on to suggest that it could turn out to be a small boat race for handicap honors given the predicted conditions, though tactics will play a large part. The fleet is closely packed, with each tracker update giving everyone a chance at the handicap win. Keep an eye on the tracker https://race.bluewatertracks.com/2024-melbourne-to-devonport-rudder-cup and enjoy whilst we wait for the wind to change the interview with Rod Smallman here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKb4a8r4e7M

Literally the worst product you can use on your boat is 3M's 5200. It is such a powerful adhesive/bedding compound that it is almost impossible to remove hardware that has been bedded down with 5200. If you have 5200 on your boat please throw it all away, and replace it with 3M 4200 or a comprable Sikaflex product like Sika 291.
