Default How keel winglets really work

what? You need a new protractor. I din't see any IACC boats sailing at
heel angles of over 20 steadily, much less 30. And IMHO 12 ~ 15 is much
more common.


Lord, why don't you think about what I write. I said powered up! Next
you will be saying powered up is not where the boat is at max power.
