Description: This treatise is written for the thirsty-open-minded and the plainopen-minded reader. It is written for those thirsty for new-edge knowledge, new understandings. This is written for open-minded yachtsmen and yachtswomen of the sea and yachtsmen and yachtswomen of ideas, sailmakers, naval architects, mathematicians, physicists, biologists, engineers, sailors, antiquarians, philosophers and historians, voyagers on the seas of understanding — all these persons are for whom this is written. It is written by a simple seeker of truth for seekers of truths. It is written to convey hard-fought-for understandings of an object that lives in the wind and is propelled to ride on or plough the seas: the sailboat object. Discoveries are written about that advance the understanding of the sailboat phenomena in life, both past and present. The theory presented is general. While wrought for the sailboat object of nature, it can have applications in fields outside the sailboat.
There are people to thank for their help during the theory's initial development. Doug Deeds is to be thanked for listening while I was testing the theory and suggesting that I add appendage resistance to specific boat tests when testing the theory's ability to predict specific boat speeds. Gino Morilli is to be thanked for providing specific boat-measured data in two winds for General Data, a Formula 40 cat. The data was used to calibrate appendage frontal area-to-pound displacement for appendage resistance that made initial predictions exact for General Data. The resulting frontal area-to-pound displacement was reasonable for structural requirements of the appendage, making that initial independent test result a big boost in confidence in the theory. Eric Bylaska (Ph.D., Physical Chemistry) produced RAWF charts for an independent check of the author's originally produced charts. Dr. Nolan Wallach (Professor of Mathematics, UCSD) reviewed the chapter on theorems.
