If you are a US manufacturer... Put Danny "Cha" Ching on a swallow tail, and watch them sell !!

My 2 cents on theory... It would reduce your tail lift... Bog the tail slightly....

Take a big square tail, like the 12'6 Fanatic, and custom cut it into a Vee tail (Swallow Tail).... I think the original would be technically quicker... But you never know, until you give it a go!

IMO the tail shape making any difference on a race board is like saying the colour will make a difference..

Years ago Mark Richards said that when someone asks him for a swallow tail, he gets out his tape measure and measures the distance between their eyes...

Did you like my new name for Danny? "Cha Ching" - as in Cash Register sound !

He's one of a few people making a living from it !

my 2 cents- i've thought a diamond tail could work. nice wake of a pinnie and the extra stability with the area of a square tail normally gives----- maybe

Have a look at the KM Compressor 12'6 and 14

Tried looking but couldn't find it.
