Design

The Santana 39 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a masthead sloop rig, a skeg-mounted rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 18,000 lb (8,165 kg) and carries 6,600 lb (2,994 kg) of lead ballast. The boat has a draft of 5.58 ft (1.70 m) with the standard keel.[1][2]

The boat is fitted with a British Perkins diesel engine of 50 hp (37 kW).[1]

The boat has a hull speed of 7.46 kn (13.82 km/h).[2]

gollark: As in, you think the majority of them don't *ask* for it, or you think the majority don't need degree-related skills?
gollark: The entry-level desk job things will probably get increasingly automated away anyway.
gollark: I didn't say that that produces *good* outcomes for people involved.
gollark: Apparently the (or at least a) reason for this problem is that a degree works as a proxy for some minimum standard at stuff like being able to consistently do sometimes-boring things for 4 years, remember information and do things with it, and manage to go to class on time. So it's useful information regardless of whether the employer actually needs your specialized knowledge at all (in many cases, they apparently do not). And they're increasingly common, so *not* having one is an increasing red flag - you may have some sort of objection to the requirement for them, but that can't be distinguished from you just not being able to get one.
gollark: The solution, clearly, is to ban asking people if they have degrees when hiring, and force them to be tested on other things instead.
