Unstable foiling demonstrated..
An example of the angle I was talking about
try more than twice that, per foil, net of tooling...
Mij, do you want to achieve full foiling, or just high lift fraction sailing, or "foil assist" as DL calls it? it's a big step between the two...
Every single post though? I like to drive a fast car, I even like to enjoy their design details from time to time, doesn't mean I need to know...
No Doug, I mean with EVERY single thing you speak about you feel compelled to say who it was you think invented it, I am not talking specifically...
Doug I have a question for you. Why is it that with every post you make you feel so compelled to always state who you think the particular person...
Steve Clark's Aethon C-class does what you are suggesting, not the inclined angle per se, but it has an adjustable cant angle so he can change the...
It was agreed at the end of 2012 by the class that the event would be held in Geneva for 2015 as the Swiss made a very solid proposal to host the...
High On Carbon: C-class sailor, wing nut, foiling guy, even when it is physically painful, proud supporter of Leftfield thinking!!! In my own...
Sharpii. To follow up on an earlier speculation / post you made which I copied above. Yes that is precisely what wings can do, locally change...
Doug Lord as thread moderator, now we are entering the surreal to the sublime.
It was well known by the team that developed the AC72 rule, that everyone would be using foils for some fraction of lift when under way, from zero...
Well that's why they call it LWL, Load Water Line. E.g. when its loaded in a static condition. This is why every rule or set of rules usually...
Now you are talking about assumptions backing up a 130 year old document. We can go back and start parsing that the deed guys would never have...
Static waterline. Every boat ever with an overhang is designed to increase its LWL when heeled and the boat starts to move. Every boat in...
But the daggerfoil has not ceased to be concerned with controlling leeway at any time. Statistically speaking, you simply need to do some...
[ATTACH] See, not too much time for semantics here..
Yeah well they are all connected, pitch means fore and aft, yaw would be the rotation induced by the tiller. So when I say pitch angle, sure I...
[ATTACH] So this is the top end of our rudder post, yep we can adjust rudder pitch angle on the fly on FYH.
