> log M(m)=2.98-0.44m-3.89log V[inf]-0.67log(sin h)

Thanks for posting that, Marco! Just to make sure that I understand that
equation, should it be read as follows, or did I mess up my transcription?


"the log of m with base M" is equal to:

2.98 - [ 0.44 x m ]  -  [ 3.89 x log(Vinf) ]  -  [ 0.67 x log(sin(h)) ]


Maybe there's a reference for this formula, like the IMO Visual Handbook,
or possibly D.W.R. McKinley? Thanks again for the informative post!
