Unfortunately, you are incorrect. However, if you are satisfied with Paul 
Caffyn's data then that is a nice thing for you.

If you cannot think of a way to objectively measure the forces acting on a 
boat then it is clear you are not the person that should be set to do that 
task. Some one who understands fluid dynamics, on the other hand, and 
understands test procedures might be able to do it.
