If you don't subscribe to Sailing World (USA version) go look for this month's issue on a news stand. The entire issue is about the AC and there is a very good article about the design work that went into the boards/rudders for foiling.

The "Easy" button would be, just let them have the adjustable tabs, like the Moth and some other foiling boats do.

Anyone know why they outlawed adjustable tabs in the first place? Wouldn't that make the boats safer? It would help to prevent both the leap frog and pitch pole.

Sure, it will cost more money, but hey, it's a drop in the buckett at this point in their spending.
