Thanks for the PDF file link. I had not seen that file before. I
think I miss a bunch of stuff that gets into the files area by not
checking it often enough.
I do remember seeing todd's videos and he made a good case by
actually sitting the model with the dynarig facing the wind and it just
floated downwind. Seeing that, I think I question the "max heeling
moment" portion of the PDF. It might be that just because the max sail
area is exposed to the wind, that it is not the maxd heeling moment. I
know that if you are on a monohull, you heel over alot more on a close
reach than you do on a broad reach, even if you sheet the sails in
flat. Because you lose the airflow around the sails, the boat pops
upright again.
I do, however, agree on the complexity issue. I expect that I
will end up with an easyrig, unless I need the sail area provided by a
schooner rig. I just keep hoping that someone will hop in here saying
"I have been using the dynarig on my boat for 3 years and it is really
simple because of ... " <grin>
