Sorry Rolf, that`s the only pic I ever found of her. I also think the keelboat was awesome, but just not up to the task of beating a 60ft C-class. When will they learn ? .
And I don`t think my statement was really OTT, imagine Hobie Trifoilers and Windrider Raves competing on a "fair" basis with any cat ?

Back to canting daggerboards / hulls.
A while back I heard of a Mosquito in Australia that had canted hulls at 7,5deg. I believe they canted outwards. Apparently it walked away from the standard Mozzies, so in theory and in practice it seemed to give an advantage, but I haven`t been able to substantiate this claim.
Now folks are talking about canting inwards.
If I`m correct, canting the boards inward will only provide real anti-pitchpole benefits if they are fitted in front of the main beam, and if used in conjunction with foiling rudders could get the boat completely out of the water.
If there is sufficient benefit of either, this should be dis-allowed in my opinion, since owners of boats like Taipan, Blade, Stealth, Spitfire etc that currently form the basis of the class would not be able to modify their boats without huge effort & cost to be competitive.
On the other hand, canting outwards doesn`t give any hydrofoiling benefits when the boat is sailed at a reasonable angle ie one hull just out of the water (the way I like it ), in fact normal straight-up daggerboards provide more lifting force in this situation than outward-canting ones, since at a heel angle of 6deg, your daggerboards are canted at 6deg ! I think this topic has been discussed on the forum elsewhere before, and I don`t believe a clear winner can be picked between the two.
And if canting in either direction proves favourable, any boat owner can do a simple conversion by shimming between his beams and hulls with a wedge-shaped block to acquire the desired angle, as long as it`s within 6deg.
Am I on the right track here?
