Well, it was not in the UK nats, but in the Manta, the removeable Aero fairing of the windward wing can be used to cover the helm legs upwind.. let's talk about marginal, marginal, marginal aero gains My feeling regarding kit right now is that still there is a pretty big difference in the horizontal foils, where, especially downwind, the biekers have a small edge over other boats. Other very interesting discussion is about the vertical foil lenght, where different design came up with very different results! My perception right now is that most people seem to go for short verticals... there was a lot of discussion about the longer vertical helping righting moment when heeled upwind, but I guess having stiffer foils and less inertia makes the boat much easier, hence faster. |
