Can a hydrofoil be shorter than current design?
Posted: Thu Sep 26, 2013 11:33 pm
It seems to me that foils are the light wind wepon of choice but i wonder what would be lost by loosing 20 cms of keel lenght. most foills are ridden in super flat wáter.
this question comes from seeing that most of the time foils are 30 cms in wáter and the other 60 cms on air.is this really needed?
torque wise the 90 cm length makes the keel more prone woble or breaking.
is this assumption correct?
Im want to build one from scrap and learn!
thanks for sharing.
