Default Well, here you were...again!


.... My racing buddies with their 1st Series Beneteau's,
Catalinas, J-Boats and C&Cs have something he'll never have.


An imaginary friend?
Lots of huge shiny trophies in the Matrix?
Blowhard bragging rights on the internet?



.... The wing just works against us at that point.


Could you explain what this means, technically?

Our wing has 19% more wetted surface than the standard 6 foot keel.


According to who?

It's also less hydrodynamic dead downwind.


Really? What hydrodynamic purpose does the keel serve when
running DDW?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Oh and I'd like to hear about your champion racing buddy
with the bulb keel frac rig J-29. Got that hull# yet? It's
really really hard to find.
