Re: rear wings on boats
Here's a couple of pics of a 38 Signature that Pepe and the boys at Pantera got to pilot in Florida. According to them the customer wanted to use the wing to help lift the stern out of the water. Good news/Bad News...
The good news is it worked!
The bad news was that it worked so well that above 90mph the wing started to lift the transom out so far they had no steering or propulsion and the boat would start to bow steer.
Another OSO member bought this boat and intended to take the wing off.
