I think you're onto something there though as there will undoubtedly be some lift generated with that setup that should help in reducing drag.......
Have you done any theoretical calcs at a range of speeds?


Eh????

John, I see them canted in (so tips are closer than the top); Standard in the A class fleet.

Wayne, are they "true" in the hulls; some A classes have them slightly toe in to create even more lift.


Mmmmm now that is an interesting question, I tried to get them as neutral as possible but it is really difficult as you are no longer just pointing the dagger board in one axis and without really good optical equipment it is sort of an educated guess. I have left the dagger board cases quite big to enable a bit of shimming if I have to and my guess is that my sailing skills are such that it will be pretty difficult for me to really tell until some way down the line.
