Re Jake's A-cat AND MINE TOO: "My boat's hulls are canted outward, bows tilt inward at the top. The daggerboards and rudders are in line with the vertical plane of each hull such that the hull, the board, and the rudder of the leeward hull plumb when flying a hull".
So--- the newer boats have the boards tilted in, so that they get lift from the boards when heeled at speed, a big advantage when doing the Wild Thing. To add insult to injury, it appears that inward canted banana boards provide even MORE lift.
By the way---- Lift = hydrofoils
