[MHml] oracle's tri Best pictures I have seeen yet

[Evan Gatehouse Diane Selkirk]

Dave,

What you are seeing (torsional flex) is probably just perspective distortion caused by a very wide angle lens.  Shot 4 shows even more of this where stbd hull seems to be going straight and port ama is heading at 30 degrees across the shot.  But look at shot 3 for a view where it was taken from further away and there is no distortion present.

Cool stuff. I'm surprised at the amount of torsional flex in the hull
structure (compare the leeward ama to the windward one--the first
photo shows it best). A lot of fuss at the daggerboard when the main
flies as well (will this be retracted when they're using the
ama-daggerboards and seriously flying hulls?) A good bit of spray at
the rudder LE, too.
