Had some health issues --so --have been out of the loop for a while --just catching up .

Some thoughts on foil design and configurations.

,In other words -design idea B S ing ;]

Some class rules prohibit boards or foils outside hull beam ,as result boards and foils have been designed inward from the hulls --the c shapes S shapes L shapes of lifting foils are inward from hull beam .

In proposing a 20 class it might be advantagous to allow them outside hull beam .

In example -With canted hulls the foils could follow the hull line cant below the waterline and angle outward in a T shape--or -- Another very different option would be an inverted Pi symbol type configuration from the hull . Two smaller paralell boards with a base lifting foil in each hull .

Not sure if I,ll "built it " my thoughts currently are to build a 32 ft cruising cat --but what fun it would be as a foiler when the wind kicked in .

have fun .
