Well, if that's the way you feel...

These are a set of experimental boards with which I can test a couple of theories.

If these ideas don't work I can easily modify the boards or easily build new ones. My centreboard cases are rectangular so they don't require too much modification. I will cost me about AU$200 to build this set out of carbon.

Plus I don't think they will be too far off the money. The chord length is a fraction longer (10-25mm) than what seems to be around atm, the board length can be adjusted to suit. Aspect ratio isn't everything, I think the Taipan boards have a ratio of about 1.5-2, just from looking at them.

I agree that they do get in the way when they're up...but it's sail area! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
