The rudder hydrofoil gives the boat 100 lbs of dynamic lift, is for both lift (upwind), and stability. Downwind in hairy conditions, it is eased off, allowing for a boat with less volume in the bow than would otherwise be designed and helping to reduce the frequency you go down the mine.
how tall is the mast?

@governor92 on the rudder yes, but not to lift but to keep the bow stabilized

It's interesting that only the helmsman is ripped off the boat, when the boat tilts windwards. That's the same with me and my mate.
