Sloco Makes a Good Point!!!
OK .... A 35 footer that draws 4 feet, nine inches won't go upwind
worth a **** EXACTLY.
Folks who've sailed both claim that the difference is a few points and
the wing is even a bit faster off the wind....which it is. Deep draft
isn't that deep at 6 feet either compared to nearly 5 feet with
winglets. What's the effective draft of both wing and fin when heeled
at 15 & 20%, Sloco and what are the accossiated losses and differences
between the two keels? How does this foil attempt and succeed (in many
respects) in matching a fin that is 1 foot 3 inches deeper?
You sure know boats!!!!!
