On Mast Movable Sails

Singing in your boat

   well does have a smaller particle radius then the atoms and molecules in air, and even air seeps at times from bouyancy bags so id have expected helium to escape quite nicely... chemistry lesson for the day over children

	You'll be able to tell when someone's helium filled Moth is leaking as they shout 'Starboard' at you in a very high pitched voice! What a great thread!

	Brainiac tested a similar theory with posting helium around the world and it only saved about 8p on postage to the USA (or Australia, I forget).

	If you are going to fill a boat with helium, you may as well make the hull light enough that only the foils are left in the water once the helm is on board. No worries about hull shape, either, then, or stiffness, particularly, so long as the foils are supported...I think the RYA may suggest joining the Balloon association, though, instead of them!

	it might, but only marginally i think, im not sure just how it would be completly efficient in all feilds, but i think the best way to find out is to try, but dont moths by class rules, require a breather valve????

	I thought of something similiar. If you sealed a moth hull and filled it with helium, would it foil earlier?

	It woule be very wrong for me to keep it to myself. So what I did was to speak to my friends in the RYA Scalability department. Funnily enough, that was a long convsersation too, and now I'm totally in the dark as I have run out of money. I dunno about Singing or Singeing In My Boat but I do hear a lot of voices in my boat, hmmm, it's entirely possible that they could be singing? What's that Skippy? The Ozzies lost the Ashes??
