Nope - not a lot of distance racing at world championships anymore. There was the 200 mile distance race at the 2006 TP52 worlds from Miami, to Bahamas to Lauderdale and back, but really it was a 15 hour overnighter which shows how fast the new boats are vs. how long that race took in the 1987 SORC even for the 50s of that generation.

With no overlapping jibs, then just one tackle. And a block on the rail. With no overlap, just use the lazy sheet, no barber hauler needed. My jib leads to the rail, but using the lazy sheet, I can bring the clew in to the mast, or anywhere between. Takes a high clew of course. My jib clew is the height of the boom, so the leech of the jib helps the main (slot) as much as a deck sweeper, but without any end plate effect. End plate effect is real, but end plate effect only works at all if there is ZERO gap between jib and deck. One inch eliminates the advantage, and in fact causes a very large vortex, which means energy, which means drag. A higher clew greatly reduces the vortex, so is probably faster than a just barely above the deck sail. And, again, then nothing but the windward sheet is required for any inboard sheeting angle.

The leading edge to stop an otherwise disc profile from hooking all and sundry........ Et voila! Actually some sound hydrodynamic principles at play - but you were playing in the realm of a rule that actively rewarded (relatively) low stability. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eliptical profile for drag reduction to the point of trying to reduce both the keel root and keel foot from producing energy sapping vortices to the minimum that structural calcs would permit. The leading edge to stop an otherwise disc profile from hooking all and sundry........ Et voila! Actually some sound hydrodynamic principles at play - but you were playing in the realm of a rule that actively rewarded (relatively) low stability. Judel/Vrolijk, Joubert/Nivelt, Humphries, Castro... lots of design houses doing the elliptical keel thing... originally with straight leading edges, then the whale flipper planform... the idea (somewhat mistaken) was to have an elliptical lift distribution from top to bottom, and this was thought best accomplished by an elliptical profile. See, e.g., Spitfire wing... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
