Yup, this is the 1st that caught fire, I think in Germany but could be wrong, Rolls were unimpressed with the grill being so close to Mk3 Ford Cortina indicators!!! Also styling hues close to the Mk 1 Ford Capri

Loved these boats! So much better looking than what they race now

Racing is about speed, and that cat must be over twice as fast, I'm not sure.

Copied from Wikepedia: The Cats......

Maximum Speed

It was expected to sail faster than the wind: upwind at 1.2 times the speed of the true wind, and downwind at 1.6 times the speed of the true wind.[4][5] But in fact it proved faster, averaging about 1.8 times the speed of the wind with peaks slightly over 2.3.[6] Emirates Team New Zealand sailed at 44.15 knots (81 km/h, 50 mph) in 15.8 knots of wind (2.79 times the wind speed) on July 18, 2013.[7]

Typical racing speeds are over 30 knots (55 km/h, 34 mph) with the boats capable of sailing well over 40 knots (74 km/h, 46 mph) in the right conditions. The fastest race speed recorded was on Emirates Team New Zealand which was 47.57 knots (88 km/h, 55 mph) in 21.8 knots of wind (2.2 times the wind speed) on September 24, 2013.[8]

This is the only thing I could find with internet search about J class yacht speeds, hull speed 12.78 knots:

No doubt the cats are much faster. The America's Cup had specifications on boats. For many years they were mono hulls until 1988 when Dennis Connor built the first cat to defend the cup. It was around that time when the crews went from amateur to professional.

Don't get me wrong, the cats are marvels of technology. I just feel they have no soul when compared to some of the classic boats.

All ahead full. Aye captain.

I believe those are the controls for starting the engine, but may be mistaken. Once turning over, one simple lever and they could run the engine in reverse almost instantly.

No chance of hearing commands from that system now in life, throw in the engine clatter and i would be grabbing an Ensign to translate.

Back then I don't believe it would not have been an ensign. All of the engine room crew were enlisted men I think. They were just figuring out that they needed officers in the engineering ranks.

Of course, I may be wrong.

By the way, I painted that deck about 2 years ago :)

And here is the engine before installation. Rather simple design. The Liberty Ships used the same engine.

Fill it with Kerosene, light...wait until flames are done.
Fill with ice, beer and load bowl with charcoal.

[flashedwards]

Now as far as what is being measured.....Matty was right....nothing was being measured. It was some artwork that doubled as a lamp. The gauge was a "Magnehelic" manufactured by Dwyer. It is used to measure differential pressure. It does the same thing as a "slack tube" or "inclined" manometer but these are highly accurate. If you look at the dial the max number is 1. That is one inch WC. One inch of water column. There are approximately 28 inches of water column in one PSI. So at max reading you're at 1/28th of 1PSI. NOT MUCH PRESSURE. I spent a great deal of my working career installing equipment in automotive body shops. I have lost track of the number of spray booths that I have installed. I was the factory installer for Blowtherm. My territory was Northern California and Northern Nevada. Actually I would install any type the customer wanted. In the last few years the good booths are all heated and computer controlled. Anyway back to the gauge...I would usually set the booths to have a reading of about .05" WC. That give you about 1/560th of one PSI positive pressure in the booth. That insures that even if there is a tiny opening in a seam or a panel assembly that no dust will come into the booth while you are painting a car, bike or whatever. After doing all the prep work and to have crap get into your paint is a real pisser. I hope that this has been informative.

+1 Good explanation. Magnehelics are a favorite tool. Service tech for 47+ years (HVAC & appliances). I prefer low-tech analog tools over electronic.

LOL. My response begs the question of why I bought a '15 CP (EFI, ECM, ABS) rather than an Ironhead (carb, points)!

I was a Weights and Measures inspector before I retired. I used one of these when i was testing vapor (gas) meters.It would tell me if there was a leak in the connections of the testing equipment to the meter.
