Well, here you were...again!
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 http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomPage |

OZ,
I thought that heeling depth was a good protest. I was surprized when it wasn't honored. http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomPage |

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 http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomPage |

Loco,
You haven't a clue on how a Wing Keel operates. Give it up. http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomPage |
