  I think the L/W
  Posted by: kayamedic on Oct-27-12 9:27 PM (EST)
 

ratio of the YS is more like 5.8 and the same for the Argosy.

Charlie would have waterline lengths for the former.I think the number 5.8 is one that he once referred to. There is a lot of overhang on the Argosy. If I were to measure mine in the water I think LWL would be 13'10.

Neither is theoretically a speedster though both accelerate quickly given their little skin surface.
