mind you the idea was'nt really to help the hesitant sailor berth up, but to aid passage making and reduce time between pubs!

"hah..... i'd vote for you showing NUC."

Probably most appropriate.

If everyone turned right I reckon the whole structure would move left sideways.

Or maybe right - a bit - at one end.

Or the other

On the subject of hull speeds. Anyone know why we don't have hulls with large bulbs at the bows just under the surface like large ships?

If you can arrange rigid tows so that each boat can push as well as pull...... Clearly this theory needs putting to the test......It could bring a whole new meaning to flotilla sailing.

It comes to mind that the lead-boat helmsman of a flotilla of a dozen or so might choose to turn right, and keep turning tight, until he stuck his bowsprit up the swan-neck of the last in line, so completing the circle.

That would, IMHO, seem to approximate to a <blogger's> muddle....
