typing into this a little, as... there way bigger minds at work....... building the FF 45 boats a few back, with angles of 0, and 3 degrees respectively to aid the fin/turn relationship was inherent to the build......
With a fast 21 boat doing 7 G's in a turn, i'd state, that the stated roll over force would/may be counteracted with a way wider off side sponson, and angle degree built in.... how wide?.... the factors as the faster the boat goes the more g's/lift out, in the turn....... surely this would take a serious amount of research, as finding the balance of the static weight of the boat, and computing the forces on the spoon in the turn would be so variable..... somebody, has to have tried this, but i imagine the off side sponson would have to be so much more bouyant, you'd lose what you gain per weight and overall water friction effects running it?...... somebody, and i'd bet Stu knows, has a bunch of left sides around that this was a point of testing.........
Kev, get with Chris, surely, as, he has done extensive testing/engineering on his fins, to the point of a can full of attempts......... whatever he and his dad had done works to perfection, and surely they built it that way, purposefully..... in a nutshell, the blackbird carves the turns like glass, and releases on request without undue/unseen effects anywhere....... something is into this..... and while chris' sweat has tested it to absolution he knows what it takes.......
I had, an old school scaled down Dave Frank sport 20, that ran the straight fin, but had inherent angle 17 degrees into the mount..... granted, and for lack of building 10 of them, they'd drift in the turn the faster they went..... upon installation, of a late model fin with bends, and mount @ 90, no more drift....... theory with the bends holding the water, but i didnt have enough speed, nor G's to get close to pulling/lifting the off side out on that one........
There's guys out there that have this information..... as much as i'd like to build prototypes, and cant, there's always a new pinnacle, it never hurts to think....... mike
