Default Here you go... wing keels

actual intelligent discussion of keel design, the various
factors influencing how keels work, and a very clear
explanation of the Reynolds number.

I suggest that certain people read it very very studiously
to find the answer as to whether wing keels lift the boat.
Yes or no?

DSK


Someone think at 8 kt a lead wing is going to provide lift?
Would both side of the wing provide equal lift on a heel?
Wouldent that cause the boat to heel more?

I know nothing about winged keels. I just thought it was a better way
to put weight down low and keeping a shallow draft. Sorta like thoses
boats that have two keels.
