Default The Irony of the Doug II

So, are you saying that wing keels *don't* make boats faster
by lifting them up?



That's the discussion and debate you're having with Thom. Now that I
trounced you on every point, you're on that with me? Are you worried
that Thom and I are also the same person.
I guess everyone is after poor Doug!

But to answer your question:
On a boat like the 35s5, DDW, even if the wing did create a lifting
force it would be MORE than nullified by the underside of the keel
drag.

Now go dream about sailing while I actually do it!
