Maybe W would work well, for steering wheels?

The new "S" foil is intriguing. Still no sign of the Kiwis exploring anhedral designs.

All the gull Wing foils they have and one side of that new foil are all anhedral designs.

Note: they kept the AM bulb and the wing is still behind the foil arm

And the asymmetric wing looks very like IB's, IMO. I wouldn't be calling it a new design direction.

If we want local Americas Cup regattas it needs to be a requirement of governent contracts

OPINION: Taxpayer funding provided to Team New Zealand did not explicitly require them to host regattas domestically. It should have been specified in the contract.

ETNZ's banana foil, essentially an anhedral design with some bend.

Absolutely gorgeous day on the Waitemata today. Nice breeze for a tri-winged blat.

The real question is how much of the anhedral is pre bending, allowing a thinner, more flexible, forgiving foil?

Okay, will remove SBD from Ignore for now, since he's behaving nicely again

Quite. There is a bit of that on LR too now but not as prominent or regular
