Default The Irony of the Doug-Dead and Loving It!


No, Bubbles did... maybe you should review what he said
about them and see if it makes sense to you.


And I quote....


"The "end plate effect" has been the Achilles heal of the wing design
for many years. By creating a larger leading edge aligned with the
winglets we can redirect water flow around that section. This, in
theory, creates less drag than typically, where a large vortex is
formed beneath and behind the keel."

Gee, I wonder who wrote that. Maybe Doug King of Keels will know?
