Default Keels: On a Wing and a Prayer

3 I don't believe!.When you heel the under side of the keel has a smooth
flow as does the top. The leading edge pushes the water up and away from
from the top surface,causing the stagnate water to rush in an off the
trailing edge. It isn't until after it leaves the wing that it becomes
turbulent (forming a cart wheel in the space behind the wing. Try the
bath tub with a layer of powder. run a ruler through it and watch the
action. Try to think of Newton rather than Bernouilli when you do it.
