And then there's the water depth. What you're describing is how the wave gains energy. The height comes when the rolling pin of energy moving thru the water...
... Wave size is determined by how hard the wind blows, how long it blows, and the distance over which it blow (fetch). A gale blowing for a day across a pond...

Gypsy can actually handle quite rough conditions, though it requires great vigilance on the part of the helmsman. She's super responsive and points quite high...

Bolger's slab-sided sharpies are well known. The Peero, at 12', is about the smallest and they go up to the AS39 and beyond. A boat with lots of flare, like a...

'Gypsy' is a very good sailer. Right about the low sides though. Unless the water's pretty calm, all will feel safer if you enjoy it just two at a time. In...

Bruce, If I remember correctly, I had the mainsheet block located there on the center line to get the best sheeting angle I could. However, I doubt that...
