HB,
Good stuff to know. But tell me why Cap-Sizing is that big of a deal? What does the proper size of your hat on your head have to do with anything?

ITS TRAGICALLY IMPORTANT....With a head and hat as big as mine it makes a difference. With brim forward, I top out WOT ay 15 mph, with brim to the rear, I top out at 18.36 mph at WOT.

And last year in a thunderstorm with 50 mph wind gusts, I had to take my hat off completely to make it back to dock while bucking the head winds......

HEAD WINDS: The movement of air that escapes from an air-head when the ears have been improperly sealed.

Oh yes, I am familiar with the Head Winds. Now an Ill Wind is something else. I remember that because my buddy who had been drinking the night before was in the front of the boat and every once in awhile I got a *wiff* of an ill wind.
