As I understand the curved boats are just the natural evolution of the canted daggerboards.


I think anyone must regard curved foils as just as much class rules inpsired as "potential benefit" inspired. I for one do not expect a meaningful performance difference between straight but canted boards and curved foils. I also feel that for true measureable benefits one needs canted boards beyond 15 degrees angle at least and no catamaran class rule allows that at this time, not even the A-cat class rules.
