>>let us know the chord and height (length) that satisfies the box rule
for the i550, and how much lead you're going to carry in your bulb/wing.
tip to root length, keel foil is approx 60 inches.
Keel foil is 13.5 root chord, 12 inches tip chord.
Laminated 1.25 inch x 2.00 inch sections of white oak, skinned with e-glass.
as afar as the box, this is pretty much it:
3.9 Keel profile and chord are optional, however, *maximum chord is not
to be greater than 2" and maximum profile is not to be greater than 13.75".*
3.10 Maximum length of keel from bottom of hull to bottom of keel bulb
at deepest point is not to be greater than 49.6".
4.0 Design
4.1 Minimum weight of hull, keel and rig is 800lbs.
4.2 Max keel weight is 185lbs. Minimum keel weight is 150lbs.
4.4 Keel bulb is required.
4.5 Keel bulb shape is optional.
4.6 Keel may be fixed, or retractible.
4.8 Rudder may be of any profile, and shape desired.
4.9 Dual rudders are allowed.
I can print up to 42 inches by 100 feet, so I would be honored if you
contributed template files.
the 2 inch by 13.5 inch max is going to limit the foil sections pretty much.
