Sailing upwind - 1 board or 2?
Hi is there a rule of thumb about how much or how many boards to use in various upwind conditions? More board is more lift but also more wetted surface drag at low speed. It seems there would be a rigorous mathematical approach to this problem that no doubt has already been solved...
