Two curved foils are mounted beneath the outer hulls, and a third foil forms an inverted T at the bottom of the rudder. The angle of attack of the outer foils is controlled by surface sensors attached forward of the outer hulls with flexible struts. </P> <P><CITE>(From "A Long Shot" by Larry Tuttle in Sail, June 1992)</CITE></P> <CENTER> <P><A HREF="http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Fishwick/ayrs.htm" target="_blank"><IMG SRC="Pictures/burgtin2.gif" WIDTH="120" HEIGHT="60" ALIGN="BOTTOM" ALT="Space donated by: AYRS (link)" BORDER="0" VSPACE="20"></A> </CENTER> </BODY> </HTML>
