I understand your problems. A standard drill that costs $15 US just across the border costs $35 to $40 here. Want to borrow money? Sure, 200% in...
I just saw some of your images in the gallery and the first thing I have to say is "Bravo". Keep up the work. It is so very refreshing to see some...
That is what I meant by 'entertainment'. It is like the guy who built a light airplane and mounted a sail on top. I don't think he ever got it to...
When I can go to my local marina and rent a 30 foot day sailor with foils, and on a breezy day wow my girlfriend with a 40 knot ride, then I will...
I think you are on the right track. Airplanes use aerolons on the outboard area of their wings to control roll, primarily for banking into a turn....
Before I built these wings, I tried out every program I could get my hands on to get some insights as to 'best shape'. Each seemed to give me a...
On this boat, if I were at speed and the wing controlling the heel broke, or if something happened to the mechanism so that I could not keep the...
Number one rule in my life - If you are not having fun, go do something else.
My post attachments button still does not work, so I can't post pictures- However check Patent #4843987 July 1989. It looks like what you are...
Thank you! Sincerely.
Don't let me stop you.:)
I hear you. This boat was build only to test out or challenge several long held concepts of sailing in an effort to move us forward. As you say "...
Ok then, one more time. If I put a foil in the horizontal position, it will work. However if I put it vertical, it will not. Is that correct?...
So, If I put a foil horizontal, it will work, but if I put it vertical it will not. Correct?
This is my biggest problem. As I mentioned somewhere above, my first time in the water, I snagged my rudder and tore it loose, requiring a rescue....
That sounds to me like the basics of a rotatable keel system which seems to have some merit. If we take a boat at speed and extend simply a flat...
Actually, what I have seen here in my most humble opinion, is every attempt to avoid, evade, circumvent, confuse or negate the idea without ever...
Well, if you had some spare time and thought you might need a bit of a vacation, maybe you could round up Doug Lord, Daiquiri and some of the...
I have read what you wrote, several times. And what you are telling me is nothing new. That there is ballast, there are various forms of movable...
In fact, I can have a righting force acting in any direction I want, up, down or sideways, as long as it opposes the heeling force. Your...
