There you go again Nutsy,
Put your own spin to a discussion. DSK had no problem with 20-to-15
degree heel. Either did I.

Yes "Shaw" did design his to stiffen at around 15 Deg. Any sailor know
some heeling needs to be had but skippers have been working for year to
keep the sail plan upright. That is why the "Rail Meat" lines the
weather rail. Solo racers pump water ballast around the hull. Almost
anything to overcome the bad effects (Evil) of heeling. Hiking straps,
trapeze.curved sliding seats on the international canoes

Now, Nutsy, you tell me what racing boats or cruising boat(Mono) are
designed to go faster with their masts heeled 30+ deg. In fact name a
vessel regardless of its design that sails faster with a heeled sail
plan and I'll shut-up. Not one that YOU THINK but one that sails fast
and better with the mast heeled.

Ole Thom
