What kind of a stupid statement is that?
Any an all keels creates force and slows a boat down but they are a
necessary evil to give direction and stability. With or without wings.

A fixed keel is a creation of drag as well as lift.

Paul Yates reference to a wing keel not creating a force in any
direction was describing how if the boat is sitting flat in the water
the "wings" should be flat too. In other words the wings cannot be
angled up or down like the elevators on an airplane. Yes, the wing
keel will creat lift when going upwind like any keel but not "lift"
going downwind to get the boat to "get up on plane" Once again, winged
keels on production boats bacame popular after the Americas Cup because
rummys thought they were high tech when in reality they were just a new
way to add weight without going deeper. If they are so great where are
they now? As I said before bulbs are now the rage.

Doug,

The biggest and intended difference is the wing was to keep the boat in
the water AND UPRIGHT so the sails would be more efficent.

A Hydrofoil is meant to lift as much wetted area as possible to reduce
Drag

OZ,

I thought that heeling depth was a good protest. I was surprized when
it wasn't honored.

Loco,

Good Jesus!! Where are they now??? What the Hell do you think we are

You do make me wonder Loco. You are Blind!

Loco,

The wing on Pneuma's keel pointed
down at two degrees when the boat was at rest. This was ot counter
leeway when heeled :^p

Loco,

You haven't a clue on how a Wing Keel operates. Give it up.

Don't the jet pilots mind when you're sailing on their
runway?

Yeah! That's why no one has ever succesfully built a hydrofoil boat.
And you can stop trying to invent the airplane. too! Sails on a
sailboat will only make it go backwards due to all the drag overcoming
the lift.

Have you ever flown an airplane? :-)

Am I a licensed pilot? No. Have I taken the controls of an airplane? Yes,
quite
a few times. Why do you ask?
