Canting keels are just another bad idea.

You're speaking from the standpoint of your vast knowledge of naval
architecture & engineering?

a system to kant the mast, not the keel.


First of all it's been done... so much for your knowledge and experience.

Secondly, why would canting the mast be better? Heeling the hull would
degrade steering & leeway resistance, and add lots of hydrodynamic drag.

Think! It's difficult & painful but it's better than the alternative.
