"We hope ISAF realise there is no need for an evaluation event" . . . nice, fair, consultative, transparent, not-at-all-dodgy. Actually, the IOC will probably love the idea. Just make sure you wrap your 'gifts' nicely when you hand them over.
Hi Hannes,
a conference paper... the analysis was really done quite ad-hoc, a scientific paper would need a more scrupulous approach. Someday maybe I'll find the time. Cheers, Mikko.
Moving the rig even further aft is the best way to mitigate "down the mine" issues. Pushing a fuller bow under water will just slow the boat quicker - not good in a puff off the wind, you need to run away from it.
Seems incredible they can get away with only superficial damage to the wing and resume racing next day! If this is going to be a common occurrence maybe the bows should be redesigned with more bouyancy!!
