I got another couple of hours of sailing in today, with a breeze of about 8-12 kts. Nothing broke and I had fun foiling into the Naval Base lagoon where a bunch of juniors were rigging up Optimists. I made about a dozen trips up and down Willoughby Bay trying to nail the jibes. Still more work to do....
The pic above was taken last October in Long Island Sound at the AYC High Performance Dinghy Open. There the AoA of the main foil was at 10.8 degrees, a degree greater than I had today. Tomorrow I'll crank the strut forward a bit more and see if that will give me the height I'm looking for....
Anyway, I thought I would throw in a bunch of pics of various bits of the boat. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to make 'em.
