OK, I got your point now, when you said "moving the weight out" you were talking about a design modification, not a control action, accompanied to other design modifications as well. The result of increasing rotational inertia (by that i mean integration of mass*radius, don´t remember well if it is called moment of inertia or rotational inertia or whatever) produces a slower system and thus enhances maneuvrability (is that a word?). I was suspecting that there wouldn´t be a cleat on the mainsheet too. So we are talking about a rather multivariable system here... the cat would be closer to a sinlge loops: trap for heel and steer for direction. I can even drink a beer on the trap if I would want to, that´s an advantage, isn´t it??
Hey I thought we were meant to forget all that dynamics crap after some time on the field, shouldn´t we??
Sail6000 I think you put some really interesting information there, thanks, I will just have to decode it a bit, too much terminology for a spanish speaker....
Greetings guys, nevermind if we are still talking on different frecuencies..
