Maybe I missed something along the way during this discussion of
rudder/foil positioning, but what would be the problem (besides lack
of automatic kick-up) with cassette-mounted rudders *in* the leeward
hull?

I'm thinking of giant bearings surrounding a cylinder in which the
rudder slot resides; that way the rudder could be retractable for thin
water.

Or how about open cassettes at the *ends* of the leeward hull?
