Orange II (dye)

Orange II is a vat dye is a dye that has the mordant and the dye added together and so the final reaction between them produces the dye. The chemical structure for orange II is C17H14N2O The structure of orange II has double bonded oxygen and this has a negative charge and it means that the carbon that it is bonded to has a positive charge.

This should be sourced and placed at Orange II (dye), this article is about the sailboat. - Eldereft ~(s)talk~ 14:59, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sail faster than power?

I assume that a sailboat can go around the world faster than a powerboat because powerboats need to stop for gas? or in order to conserve "gas mileage", powerboats need to operate at a slow speed? or because sailboats are lightweight and on the high seas just go fast? All three? Obviously, the overall speed is a combination of all factors, but which one leads to the unexpected "sail beats power" answer? This article is a good place to put the interesting answer (that I don't know). If the Earthrace powerboat was built to show off renewable resources by setting an around the world record, it sort of gets a renewable resource FAIL doesn't it?
