T foil rudders on Cherubs?

Originally posted by I luv Wight It seems to help if the crew stays back if the nose dips, instead of running forward up the gunwales, and then flying round the front.

That brightened up my otherwise quite crappy day

Thats for the replies Andy and Andy and Jim, It something id quite like to look at after ive sorted my daggerboard, snout, pole, stump, fittings, rig, trolley and a whole pile of other bits

I've sailed Andy's Aquamarina and it does feel really weird!  When you wind the foil on the nose just makes a beeline for the seabed, but as soon as you move back you really feel the boat start to fly upwind, it just feels really odd being at the back!

I think that a bistro will probably benefit even more so from a T foil than a skinny boat...be really nice to be able to lift as much of that fat hull out of the water as possible.  I'm certainly planning on building one sometime next year.

The one thing I have no idea about is the size of the T foil...there was a huge difference in size between various foils at the Nationals.  What would be cool would be to have the main spar (as in aviation) as a secure part of the rudder and then be able to put interchangeable foils on depending on wind strength!!!
