8 Both boats will be 18 including the coxes
41 20/20
42 Beaufort scale one - look here, easily Googled - says over 74 mph http://users.ox.ac.uk/~jesu0073/beaufort.html
Hurricane is 73mph
Hurricane is force 11
maximum number of opening moves in chess (not including surrendering) is:
pawns x 8 x 2 =16 plus knight x 2 x 2=4 = 20 moves
67
8 pawns - 2 possible for eack
2 knights - 2 possible for each
Total = 20
