Its not so much the system itself its the solved problem by the use of connected counter rotating boards in general that I'm pushing.
I have shown lots of proof it works . I have yet to see any proof it doesn't. Just alot of talk that it won't work by those that have yet to show there proof it does not work. Show me the setup that didn't work and I will show you how to make it work!
It's not so much about my system and more about a problem solved.
Foil section is only to gain in performance of speed in general if foil section is not blown out of proportion for a given proas length and sail area.
Foil sections really has nothing to do with the control the dual linked boards give to a shunting craft. Any foil section from 8 -15 % of chord width should be a good starting point.
