Default Well, here you were...again!

Loco,

You're the only one talking about get a hull on plane. I showed you a
picture of my 2nd boat with a semi planning Hull.

That isn't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the lifting force
created down wind, the righting force created when heeled. It is more
than just weight. It is a aerilon force using "Newton Theory" of force
producing an equal and opposite force.

The Wing Keel works. You have to know how and why it works and then
learn to sail your vessel accordingly. Is it faster; probably not, but
it is a more comfortable ride and a decent wind is equal to or better
than a straight Fin. It has to have a flow over it.
