The angle between the hull and the water seems to be around 13 degrees, which is OK for a slender yacht like yours. I think there is a slight...
Hear-hear! This whole thing really is getting quite silly, at least from a european point of view! My guess is that CBTFco's patent is only...

The shots might be excellent, but the rudders... What's the name of the NACA section used on the second one? ;) An end plate may be a good idea...
You're welcome, all of you. To be honest, it wasn't hard to find. I attended the latest symposium and was told that the papers would be published...
