<BTW, Cooperstein's post of the formula stimulated this post. I suspect it is intended for use in singles only. Dave Kruger> Actually, a double would be appear to be accommodated by the boat width factor. Hi-ever, as with all regressions and factor analyses, you get into trouble when you try to extrapolate beyond the sample's envelope. I suspect that the formula is not reliable for beams bigger than around 25". The formula also gives rather strong effect to spine length, suggesting that height plays a greater role than I thought, especially since it is also relected in the elbow measurement. Slouching down an inch knocks over 4 cm off the length.
