Wind

   I know this is probably in the worng place and it should be in weather but im not sure how mnay poeple go there.
Ok... if you have an anamometer that reads 20knots in the UK (Cold damp air MORE DENSE AIR) and a anamometer that reads 20 knots in Dubai (hot dry LESS DENSE AIR) 
Are they both produceing 20knots?
If yes then is the force they are blowing the same as the denser air must provide more particles as there is more of them fitting your sail?
Kind of confused on this

	There was a big discussion in the mag about this a year or so ago, and various experts came up with lots of conflicting reason why it is true/isn't true. Thats science for you! Best evidence was from world class sailors who use more powerful rig settings in a warm force 4 than in a cold force 4.

	Reckon denser air will produce higher pressure over the sails, so it will feel windier.......Don't now how much a difference it will make and we tune the boat according to how windy it feels on land and do fine tuning on the water..... Thank Bethwaite (aka God) for those turnbuckle thingys......
