- Well, I called Windsurfing Hawaii and asked why the
- offset is present on the star foot. As several
- people here on the net suggested, the reason is
- that it saves them from having to "stack bolts"
- at the foot center. This produces a lower
- profile design, they said, although it
- seems to me that it also allows it to be manufactured
- more cheaply. The offset, according to them,
- produces neglible effects when compared with
- the other forces involved.
