I was talking about the hull hitting the ways. Hitting a wave at
15-20 knots is a LOT of force.


Excuse me, but who is truly clueless here? Since when did old wood
sailing ships travel at anywhere near 15-20 knots? Maybe down the
business side of a tsunami with a cat 5 hurricane tailwind...

I didn't say the ship was traveling at 15 - 20 knots. Ships have a
certain speed. Waves also have a certain speed.



20 knot waves. Unhuh. Clueless doesn't do you justice.

I never said anything about 20 knot waves. Now I know why you can't
Google for yourself. You can't read the results.
