.... My racing buddies with their 1st Series Beneteau's,
Catalinas, J-Boats and C&Cs have something he'll never have.

An imaginary friend?
Lots of huge shiny trophies in the Matrix?
Blowhard bragging rights on the internet?



.... The wing just works against us at that point.

Could you explain what this means, technically?

Our wing has 19% more wetted surface than the standard 6 foot keel.

According to who?

It's also less hydrodynamic dead downwind.

Really? What hydrodynamic purpose does the keel serve when
running DDW?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Oh and I'd like to hear about your champion racing buddy
with the bulb keel frac rig J-29. Got that hull# yet? It's
really really hard to find.

BeneteauUSA, Doug. The keel is not only winged but also LONGER. See!

Gee wiz, Doug, what does a centerboard boat do with the dagger DDW?
That answers your question in part, but a standard keel on a
displacement hull can benefit from some tracking via a fin. Wings can
offer lift, but for a boat like mine, it's a slower run than a regular
fin. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!!!

Show everyone that you're not a liar and POST where I wrote he was
champion racer!!! GO AHEAD!!! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING

Doug, tomorrow evening I'll post pics of the boat and hull #, thereby
proving YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!!
Why don't we bet something? I'll bet 100 dollars that I post pics of
the J boat by tomorrow evening and that you'll also look dumber than
toast!
