Hello all,

The canted centerboards is a better way to stabilize the boat upwind. I am sailing on a a-class which i made 2,7mtr width and it works. Because the boat is more flat upwind, so the flow along the sail is more attached to the sail in chop conditions. This means that i can sail higher upwind. For example: 1 race we had force 4-5 bft and i was sailing 4 to 5 degrees higher (alone) than F18 and F20. So i think it will work out.
