spreader shape
This one is not really budget related. I have the spreaders basically shaped but not yet into a foil. I can afford (strength wise) to remove more material to get an airfoil shape. That being said my choice is leave them with rounded edges, which I know offers more wind resistance, or shape them into a foil for better efficiency. Lift vs. resistance. I'm just not sure if the lift on that size vessel is a significant improvement on it's own, enough to outweigh strength. I can definitely see how that would improve a lighter racing vessels performance. Your vote for a foil, however, carries significant weight.
Thanks for the reply. Kevin
