Timing the market doesn’t work just like adding extra structure during stormy weather doesn’t work. Being “ready” for any type of weather means having excess and thus unnecessary capacity in parts of the ship.

A sleek high performance vessel is streamlined to have no excess capacity and breaks in rough weather.
