Eole, we have not met. My name is Owen Oyen. I know something of yacht design in SL and Manul has given me a copy of yours. I think well enough of it that I shall give it some time to do a check of math accuracy.

Might I ask the mathematical mass of the keel and the mathematical length of the keel's moment arm? And what sail surface area did you use to determine air pressure force that generates heel? This will help me with verifying your math.

Congratulations on a nice piece of work.
