Glad you're OK Doug -Curtis
That sounds better Doug- the section change in the foil, and the 2d profile is deeper which should solve what I pointed out. My boat hasn't...
Hi Doug, I think you might have some ventilation issues with this design both at high speed and when you're heeling. From what I gather this is...
More on the outboard foils: leeway One more thing that I think has an effect on the performance of the outward foils is that for them to work the...
That's a very good point Garry!- I didn't really think of it that way- the widening of the platform with height :) I wonder whether an outward...
Outward facing foils Hi Gary, the outward facing foils work but not nearly as well as inward facing foils. Having Dihedral- inward facing...
