Now Hong Tao has really become a big idler, Han Xue and Ouyang Qing are in charge of domestic affairs, and he has also done his best to do his best in the affairs of Aigo Company, there is a project to talk about on the side of Crystal Orchid Capital, but Stanford University is also on vacation, and I can't find anyone to talk to, so I have to wait until the start of school. Sergei's nightclub has been under construction for more than 3 months, but the renovation work of a broken two-story building with a basement has not yet been completed.

There is money in his pocket, but idleness, which is really not Hong Tao's style, so he began to torture Eliza again. She promised to buy a second-hand sailboat for Hong Tao on the plane, but it has been a week, and there is not even a shadow of the sailboat, and the efficiency of this work is too poor! Once you are targeted by Hong Tao, you only have two options, either you will cut off your robe and break off friendship with him completely, or you will raise your hand and surrender and be obedient. Eliza was dragged down by Vanessa, a little traitor, so she couldn't take the first path, so she could only take Hong Tao to buy a second-hand sailboat.

In fact, it's not that she doesn't want to buy a boat for Hong Tao, nor is she afraid that Hong Tao can't afford to buy a boat, but she feels that she can't be alone with Hong Tao for too long. There was an attraction in this young man, and after a long time she was afraid that she would not be able to resist having something with him, and once that time came, Eliza herself did not know what to do. But she wanted to hide, Hong Tao didn't let her hide, just like a piece of dog skin plaster, sticking to you all day long, swishing and spitting out the poisonous tongue in his mouth, making you upset, and the heart of √ hit to death.

What's even more infuriating is that Hong Tao ordered a large rubber inflatable boat for Vanessa, which is the size of his modified F350, which is placed in front of Eliza's house. It was called his and Vanessa's training ship. And then all day with three children, dressed like pirates. Toss on this broken inflatable boat. The neighbors called the police, but Hong Tao's lawyer stopped them. The police were not willing to provoke the well-known Toronto two-hundred-and-five. He even dared to take reporters to court, a mad dog, biting whoever he caught, and biting at any cost, just like his lawyer was hired for nothing.

In order not to let the neighbors regard herself as a thorn in their side, in order to prevent Vanessa from continuing to follow him into the abyss, Eliza can't care about the future, let's leave the big trouble in front of her, and talk about the future later.

"So is there a place like this in Toronto? Just tell me an address, I'll do it myself, and I'll bother you to make a special trip! Come, Vanessa, see, the ship here refers to our Black Pearl at random, and we'll get on the ship next week to be pirates. Grab the ice cream boat first, and then go to the Barbie boat......" When Eliza took Hong Tao to a pier in Toronto's East End, she told him about the hundreds of sailboats of all kinds moored on the shore and in the water. When they were all ready to be sold, he began to trick Vanessa into becoming a pirate with him again.

"Vanessa! Don't point fingers! Come, come with Mom, pirates are bad guys!" Eliza hurriedly picked Vanessa out of the car. Then he took her hand, for fear that she would really point it, and then Hong Tao really bought it. Then you will be guilty of a great sin. Hong Tao has more than two hundred and five, she knows very well that the more you don't let him do anything, the more he will do.

"Why are these boats left on the shore to dry?" Hong Tao saw that Eliza was very well guarded. I won't be angry with her on purpose anymore. This was just a small punishment for her deliberately dragging and not buying a boat for herself, delaying for several days, waiting for the boat to be bought. The great punishment is yet to come. As long as the person who makes himself uncomfortable, he must not let it go.

"This is a second-hand ship in good condition, the price is a little more expensive, and you can only see the whole hull when you put it on the shore. Eliza was a little angry and depressed, but seeing the sailboats made her feel much better. After all, it's something she likes, and as for the person next to her who is very annoying, choose not to watch it or try to watch it as little as possible. At the same time, Eliza also made up her mind, when Hong Tao really wanted to go on the boat for training, she would not be soft, and she had to torture him like a prisoner, otherwise she wouldn't be able to breathe this breath in her heart!

"Why are the bottoms of these ships different? A big blade looks like a big blade, this is too exaggerated!" Hong Tao soon found a problem that he couldn't figure out, although none of the superstructures of the sailboats placed here were the same, but the differences were not too big, only the bottom of this ship was really different.

Some boats have a fin that is higher than the hull running through the bottom from the bow to the stern, and the whole boat looks like a hockey hockey shoe, and the skate blade part is the fin, and the shoe part is the hull. In some cases, the fin does not go from bow to stern, but only in the middle of the hull, which is about one-third of the whole. The strangest thing is that some boats do not have this fin on the bottom, but a longer pole sticks out, and on the head of the pole is a cannonball-like thing, about a meter long.

"This is called the outer keel, and the boats we row in the river do not have this kind of outer keel, because the wind and waves in the river and lake are not big, and the outer keel is not used to stabilize the hull. But when you get to the sea, you don't have to have waves without these outer keels, and if the wind is a little stronger, you will directly roll over on your side. The center of gravity of the whole ship is also on the junction of these outer keels and the hull, which is like two pendulums, no matter how much the top is rocked, the bottom will provide a corrective moment. I'll teach you these algorithms slowly, and only when you understand these numbers will you know which ship is suitable for long-distance sailing, and which ships can be used to play in the near sea. You see this kind of skate-like outer keel is called a full-length keel, this kind of smaller one is called a half-length keel, and this kind of thin one is called a hoisting keel. Speaking of the knowledge of sailboats, Eliza temporarily restrained her anger towards Hong Tao, it seems that the problem of being someone else's teacher is not only Hong Tao and his father, but many people have it.

"So what's the difference between them? Which one is better?" Hong Tao understood, since there are three modes, they must have their own advantages and disadvantages.

"The closer the keel is to the hull, the heavier the weight, the better the stability, and the smaller the draft. A hoisting keel like this is lightweight, but it has to be far away from the hull, which reduces the weight of the ship, but increases the draft and is prone to damage. As for the better, in fact, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, which mainly depends on what situation you are driving and how skilled the driver is. Eliza took Hong Tao to see the ships one by one, and then explained to him the different functions of various keels according to the real thing.

"Then why doesn't this ship have a keel!" Hong Tao was much more honest at this time, and he no longer teased the poor, because his brain was trying to memorize and analyze this new knowledge, and he would remember the part he understood, and he would quickly find someone to ask if he didn't understand.

"It's a steel-hulled ship, there aren't many of them now, and its keel is the smallest, because its own hull is very heavy, and it doesn't need too heavy keels to help it stabilize the hull, you see, this protrusion is its keel, and it should be said that it is also a full-length keel. Most of the boats here are fiberglass, a few have steel hulls and aluminum alloy hulls, and there is another kind of boat that is rare, that is, wooden hulls, all of which are of fine teak, at least decades old. Their prices are very high, there are no new ships, they are all grandparents' and they cost at least more than 100,000 Canadian dollars or more each. Eliza walked over to the hull that Hong Tao was pointing to and tapped her hand on it, making a metallic sound.

"Which material is good!" Hong Tao realized at this time that buying a sailboat is really troublesome, much more complicated than buying a car.

"Personally, I think aluminium is the best way to sail. The steel-hulled ship is the strongest, but its weight is too heavy and the speed is slow; the fiberglass hull is the lightest, the speed is fast, but it has no yield, and it ages quickly, and it is very troublesome to repair; the aluminum alloy hull has the yield of steel, and it is much lighter than steel, and the corrosion resistance is also good. If the hull is damaged, it can also be repaired and replaced directly, the only disadvantage is that it is more expensive than both steel hull and FRP hull. You have to decide whether you want speed, intensity, or both. Eliza only then officially began to help Hong Tao choose a boat, and she didn't mind saying her preferences and suggestions for Hong Tao's reference.

"You are the coach, of course you have the final say, then it is aluminum!" Hong Tao felt that Eliza's construction was very good and very suitable for his character.

"By the way, Coach, have you ever heard of carbon fiber materials, is that kind of boat strong and light?" Don't look at Hong Tao has never played with this thing, but compared to being well-informed, there are really few people who can surpass him.

"Ha, don't think about that material, you can't buy it without 500,000 Canadian dollars, and you and I can't drive that kind of boat, it's a special racing boat, it can run more than 20 knots, like flying! But once you make a mistake, you will tear your own hull by yourself, I won't get on that kind of boat with you, I still have Vanessa to raise!" Elisa looked at Hong Tao like a fool, and finally found an opportunity to laugh at him, and she didn't want to waste it at all.

"Cut, it's only 50 kilometers per hour, and it's the same as flying, one day I'll take you to play wingsuit flying, that's called flying!" Hong Tao resolutely couldn't tolerate being despised by the people of this era, and immediately said something in the afterlife.

"What's it?What is a wing-like suit?Isn't that a fool?hahahaha......" It's a pity that this thing Hong Tao said was too advanced, and instead of shocking Eliza, it was ridiculed by her again. (To be continued......) R752
