[quote=mookie]Perhaps the additional sail area down to the deck has more benefit than the end plate effect. A pure right angle end plate is fairly draggy, due to junction drag. A convex or A-frame deck could ameliorate some of that drag. Tailored porosity in a standard tramp geometry might actually help. Has any of this been quantified with CFD or in a wind tunnel? It would be cool to see the trade offs.[/quote]
