Good article Et.
Gives me a better insight into how things work. My own interest lies with surfskis and this article provides insighrs into the quite different hull design of a ss. Weathercocking would be a big nuisance with a ss which is designed to race downwind and surf. They tend to leecock?? This article helps explain why they do so.
Cheers
