[MHml] Dogzilla Critique

[Bill Gibbs]

Perhaps the ORMA 60 was the first racing class to adopt and use curved foils
as well.  More than experimental.

I think the Lombard reference probably relates to the use of the banana foil
running through the ama, as seen on the ORMA 60's. It looks like Ian's
concept involved a surface piercing foil slung from the forward beam; a
different take.

curved foil, having first fitted these to the trimaran Banque Populaire 2 in
1999. The use of such foils - a real revolution at the time - has now been
adopted by almost all the large trimarans, for racing and round the world
record attempts.

It's not necessary, the answer to the last FAQ in his website suffices. The
curved ama foils can be seen in the picture, just follow the link.
