    Few years ago I heve seen a lot of boats using this system. Is it used now? I was thinking about canting keels and asymetrick dagerboards. And I came up with idea, of using twin asymetric ruderrs. They would work the same as dagerboards, the upwind ruder would be lifted out of the watter, them the uper dagerboard is raised. And sailing downwind both ruders would be semi lowered so the lift would be eliminated. What do you think?
