Target Boat Speed. Based upon the output of IMS Velocity Prediction Calculations, we've generated a graphical representation and a corresponding tabular data interpretation which illustrate the product of a series of equations applied to discover the interaction between variable forces of energy, inertia and friction in a hydrodynamic environment, for the purpose of determining their combined effect upon the velocity of a specific mass of engineered fiberglass, aluminum and fabric, with the final results expressed in nautical knots per hour.

(Editor's note: Pay no attention to that guy; he's been drinking too much cappaccino. Here's a chart and a pair of tables from J/Boats that tell you how fast your J/92 should be going, depending on true wind speed and sailing angle.)
