The Comanche drawing is nice, but not accurate. Comanche has huge aftermast position at 55-56% from the bow. About the same as the VPLP Imoca's....
R88 has beaten Comanche twice?
I think we need to have a new view to the combined lift/sideforce foil. The AC 72 foil as stationary has an understandable vertical and...
Guessing that there is a gain comparable to enplate effect in the smooth 90° kink in the foil. As itself the sideforce portion looks about same...
Then comes the gain on balance, which is nice. The canted keel is to windward, and now the sideforce business is leeward. That equals good news on...
When it is pulled out it will. Nice to see rapid development in real-world.
Ahh that beauty the dare the sin!
I believe the wide-body boats will deliver soon in Sydney-Hobart. Loyal was leading the race temporarily this year, as well as previous year....
daiquiri is something lost in translation? Man up and tell.
Closer look the bow was often proud. Comanche was short-waterlining with aftmast design. Unheard. Un-balance? No surprise that Jim Spithill fresh...
They got heel, then more heel, and even more speed over competition! "Look at that thing go! We must be doing something wrong," - heard on Oats....
Comanche did good with toe-in daggerboards. I am looking at the Sydney start surge that must be the outrage speed phenomena of the year. How do...
In light conditions it is crucial to get everything lifted out of the water. Ocean racing can be patchy, so there are huge gains available, and...
Yes! Nice to see rapid progress. The foils can be made wholly rectactable, just like the curved daggerboards now in use. Some creative tweaking...
Thanks. I believe that the original Welbourn patent does not deal with side force. The new Welbourn Open 60 does that too, but totally different...
The Banque Populaire foil looks to be superior to the Welbourn DSS. The BP foil has uniform lift at the whole span, while the Welbourn foil...
