Don't forget my shipmove.txt file.  I did it June '06 but it should still be good to go. The Earth Based facts section is facts based on historical data and the 2 books I read (yeah read books ).  

Based on those facts is where I got my idea for the movement.
Hope it helps.  Those facts are nacient based not modern.
With modern "solid" hulls not stuff like wood that can break and tear and damaged the modern formula might be off for ancient ships.  Modern hulls are all "solid" so little to worry about in that regard.

But good luck.
