The purpose of boards is to prevent slip, and slip along with the apparent angle of attack causes drag on the boat.
<br>
<br>If you cant the boards you are effectively removing some of the resistance to slip, in favor of raising the hull.
<br>
<br>Has anyone seen any studies that compaired the reduction in drag from less wetted surface by raising the hull, as compaired to increased drag from additional side slip.
<br>
<br>I seem to remember reading a article several years ago on canted hulls and it refered to this effect on the boards angle
