Can someone help me with this?
I've read about different foil shapes for the center board and rudder. Now I can understand how they would have less drag with a better shape, but some will talk about how they will create more/better "lift". I know about wing shapes and how they create lift, I just don't see how a symmetrical shape can create lift and if a CB did create lift it would only be good when healed over on one side and would be counter productive when healed over on the other side. Am I misunderstanding when they talk about lift? If not can someone show me which direction that lift is "lifting?". If anyone kows or has a guess please chime in I would like to hear.
