WINGS WITH FOILS​

Here’s yet more about the Hybrid Wing, its history, and that of other fully-rotating but unstayed, “free standing” rigs.

The problem with unstayed rigs in multihulls, and the problem with foiling, are both discussed. How to resolve these shortcomings is suggested, leaving some questions unanswered.

In the next session, I promise to offer my latest thinking on multihull capsize as it relates to wings and foils, and how that all relates to proas, and to pedal power. Do all these things relate? You bet they do, and it’s all coming around on the guitar right now.
