Today I went for a sail as the work day was slow.
A nice 10nt SEer.
Dave arrived as I was packing up and was heading out as well as Bruce G with his 16ft carbon moth NOW with hydrofoils, and a nice job of them.
The 16 is a trapeze boat even though it has wings so Bruce has opted to keep the rudder foil fixed and chose to pitch the boat through body movement off the wire. Note- he has the ability to adjust the wand setting on the fly.
It was a little lite when he finally got out on the water and through a few puff's he was up. Not bad considering it was his first outing with it.
I can't wait to see it up and running with all the teething problems sorted.
with it only a few kg's heavier than a moth, a 16ft mainsail and 10-11ft out from the center line of the 1ft wide hull, should made a wicked down hill ride. More than happy to lend him the Velocitech that day.
Took a couple of photo's on my phone but they were too far away. hopefully a couple soon.
