  • What an amazing job compiling this amount information, and it’s quite organized too, hahahaha. Great job!

    I’m curious as to how would the relevance of efficiency change when considering saling ships. With fuels, you carry a limited ammount of them, and more efficiency would make it possible to travel longer distances. But what happens when wind is the propulsion method? What does efficiency imply? Just traveling faster and possibly being able yo move with weaker winds? If that is the case, is it really that worth it? (I’m saying this because the hull shapes and other modifications are made mainly for that purpose, so they would not be necessary if efficiency didn’t play such an important role, I guess)
