[Public-List] Heel angle

[Lawrence Morris]

Pete,


The conventional wisdom I have always heard from the racing class is  
when reaching the water line should be no higher than about six inches  
below the rail.  This maximize the waterline length without dragging  
the rail(slow)  I have not heard what the minimum heal angle to start  
extending the waterline.
