"Elephant foot" keel designer

Drawings of the keel vieved by Michel Noverraz, son of "Pierrot", the designer.
Pierrot was involved in the design for sure, either as consultant, partner of jean Chalut, or as designer ?
The foot width of 350mm gives the limit allowed for the winglets span in the Rating Rules (Art.14.4).

Sirocco's hull and characteristics were designed by Britton Chance Jr. for Jean Chalut on Lake Geneva. Jean Chalut designed the “elephant” keel, which setups the maximum width of keel winglets later on.
