The proposed allowance is based upon the assumption that speed 

 can be obtained in proportion to the square roots of the lengths of 

 vessels. 



Let I. represent the length .".f (he hirg.-r boat, and 1 the length ot 

 the smaller boat , The speed of the larger boat, is to the speed of the 

 Smaller boat OS the square root of Ihe length of the larger boat is to 

 (he square root of the length of Ihe smaller bout. 



The table is based upon the time taken to sail " 

 the formula would become: 



Time Tims

The time taken as a basis is one hour, or 3,600 seconds, hut it has 

 been found in practice that this would make the allowance too large,
