Doug,

You're grasping now. Playing word games really won't do it.


Did I make up those we sites detailing how wing keels work?

Did I make up that Australia 2 was faster downwind? No,
somebody else brought that up... it was you!

Doug,

Trying to talk sense with Nutsy only unmasks your own stupidity. Just as
I'm doing with you.

I didn't post Vacanti Web. I didn't mention end plates.

No, Bubbles did... maybe you should review what he said

And I quote....


"The "end plate effect" has been the Achilles heal of the wing design
for many years. By creating a larger leading edge aligned with the
winglets we can redirect water flow around that section. This, in
theory, creates less drag than typically, where a large vortex is
formed beneath and behind the keel."

Gee, I wonder who wrote that. Maybe Doug King of Keels will know?
