    ....two adjectives I would never have though of using there!

    Back to the topic: although Jochen's boat is certainly no one of the "last generation", it appears to me that twin keels, in their last developments (asymmetrical, or angled for wide stern hulls not sailing along their longitudinal axis when heeling), are still in their infancy. Lord Riverdale's studies, so often cited as the reference, are for totally different twin keel design.
    If someone here knows about current studies in this axis, I would be very curious to know about them.
    thanks
