Assymetric foils/hulls on a proa.

How much assymetry is too much? From Gary Dierkings to The port madison proa (duckworks)....
Heard talk of too much lift here on other threads - for cats tho. Seems to make a lot more sense on a proa tho....?
Why dont proa's use assymetric foils/daggerboards?

Some proas like Harmen Hielkema's Toroa successfully used asymmetric dagger rudders. Tom Speer did the real research and has the info here:
