Reply to: 5.5 low wings

[quote=Andinista][quote]Lowering the center-of-effort of the ballast is a no-brainer icon_wink .[/quote] The factor between tilted and horizontal wing is cos(angle), assuming it's the same length When it's about man on the trapeze, length can't be extended, only angle can be adjusted, therefore trap systems are adjustable. But with the wings, you could make longer ones to compensate for cos(angle) and forget about it. So I would question if it's really worth the effort to make them adjustable. Actually the math is not that simple, the above is valid only with the boat horizontal, as the boat heels, the tilted wings would be less and less effective compared to ones aligned to the beams. But on one side I think this effect is not so relevant and on the other, if the hull can't be kept low it means it's time to adjust something else[/quote]
