| where placing center of effort/centro velica
Dear Claudio
I have built Easy Footy III twice and I'm sailing it with much pleasure.
Now I'm building Fat Boy Slim (Peter Shepherd and Peter Jackson). But I don't want to use the original swing rig. I want use my Easy Footy III Rigs to continue my experimenting with camberd sails an flexible masts. On your plans I find the center of the sails and the center of resistance of the keel (deriva). On the plans of Fat Boy Slim there are any theoretical measures. But I know experimentally the point of the Total lateral resistance. Can you give me an advice on the distance between these two points.
My easy Footy is easy to balance with a minimum of rudder-work.
thank you very much for every hint.
