How is canard handling envisioned for tacks and gybes?
When sailing downwind, the canards would not be needed and would both be up. When sailing upwind and tacking, the windward canard is lowered as the tack is initiated. The boat is tacked with both canards in the down position. After the tack is completed, the new windward canard is pulled up. Because the windward canard is not fully immersed and because it will effectively be cambered in the “wrong” direction it will be producing relatively little side force making it easily moveable by hand.
