This goes back to 2003-2004 and those people do not post here any longer. Sorry
These guys here seam to have the mechanism worked out in their production boats:

Mine mechanism is coming along nicely. Some have probably wondered, why there is a gyro pictured with the electronics, in my post of “Spring is a coming”.
It’s time to spill the beans on what I believe is the smallest canting keel vessel period. Working on getting this new product ready for '09.
In time, I wish to do a 1/10th version of the “Papabois”. Maybe a rg-65 version as well. First, I must get it done in Footy-size.
“Open Footy”…You betcha!:devil3:
Three different decks will be available:
An Owen Clark Design-type cowl (like the Spirit of Canada / Ecover),
A Mark Lombard type cowl (like Veole / and somewhat “Safran”),
And a dually (like Hugo Boss / DCNS)
Don’t waste time on an RG - rules prohibit moving keels. 
Nevertheless, some guys are doing it anyway. Have a look at: http://www.rg65.de/forums/showthread.php?tid=249
Henning got a RG running with a canting keel. Pictures start at posting 85, page 9.
Ok Ok - let me rephrase that…
“Development for an RG class boat would be for personal benefit only, since the class rules prohibit moveable keels.”
I would suppose Henning could ask the RG World Council to consider a rules change to allow canting keels as an acceptable alternative, but I think that the class has proven to be popular, because one can fool with design shapes, yet it is kind of protected against the technical “race” such as canting keels/moveable ballast, assymentrical spinnakers, etc.
I love innovation, but not when it impacts a class standard that has proven to be so popular in over 30 years of it’s existance. I suppose I too could offer an amendment to allow multihulls, but even if they were limited in development, having something significantly faster than a monohull would also signal a quick “death” to the existing monohull fleets, once it is proven that multihulls could be competitive on a closed course.
Only my opinion of course.
Hi,
of course, Henning cannot sail a race based on the international rules with this boat, but he can do it in Germany, where we have a modified set of class rules with a little bit more freedom for testing such new developments.
As far as I understood, his main interest was to find out if a canting keel can be designed and build to fit into a RG65 hull. Next step is to find out, if there are real advantages.
To be honest, I assume, that you cannot handle a canting keel in such a small boat while going upwind. You have to react very quickly during a race which is difficult enough without a canting keel. You may have some advantages down wind.
You will have a real advantage in a badly laid course where no or only a little tacking ist required …
However, I am eager to see how it works in reality - despite all class rules.
