To find the line setter speed setting, you
must know the distance between float buoys
and the desired sag of the main line be-
tween those floats.
1) Divide the desired sag by the
distance between floats,
2) Find the ratio in column A,
3) Multiply the boat speed by the
factor from column B.
Example:
With a distance of 1,800 feet between float
buoys and a desired additional main line
sag of 150 feet, the calculations would be
made as follows.
150' desired sag (divided by)
1,800' distance between floats
equals .08. Locate .08 in the chart from
column A, then multiply column B by the boat
speed which is 8 knots.
1.017 x 8 (knots) = 8.14 knots.
This is the speed setting on the line setter.
