Paul, do you really mean the dimensions of that keel and rudder?

nope, just doodles really,

The rudder needs to be deep for S ocean to stop it ventilating in the breaking crest on a 10 m wave. You do not want to lose the steering!

Also higher aspect less drag/ more lift (and a lower stall angle but can't win em all).



The bulb shape was to form an "endplate" on the chord... and a draft of about 4m is "normal.."



Thanks fo rthe comment... and the rating!!
