203 0 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I think the faster you go the more foward the apparent wind goes. Foiles make the boat go faster. I think your right there, Just like us sailing with our biggest spinnaker in the light, the poles right forward because the apparent wind angle is further forward from the increase of speed in the light. or something along those lines..

JK 28 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Stephen C, ETNZ are putting the sail up early today so best grab your camera!! Link to post Share on other sites
Clive 13 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Interesting how they get back into the Viaduct.... Notice how the rib on the bow has the outboard in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Stephen C, ETNZ are putting the sail up early today so best grab your camera!! Thanks for the heads up. I got some photos of it under tow and im hoping to get some footage of it sailing back up the harbour, but EMTNZ are going to have to play ball for that to happen. if anyone sees them heading back into the city could you please text me so I can can some footage of it It takes me around 15 minutes to get to Orakei so if anyone on the east coast bays sees them heading home a heads up would be greatly appreciated as it would give me the time to get there. my number is 0212071194 Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Im standing by my phone for the whole day so remember to text if you see anything. Heres a photo of it under tow down the harbour. They ducked in behind north head and that was the last that I saw of them. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Foiled by EMTNZ today as they decided to stop sailing just before north head so theres no footage of the cat foiling Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Looks like they had new foils on today. No Toyota on them? From what I could see anyway. Very hush hush but at least they are sailing Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Looks like they had new foils on today. No Toyota on them? From what I could see anyway. Very hush hush but at least they are sailing It was a long training day for them as they spent 7 hours on the water today so that must confirm that they were trying something (as well as being the only day to train this week). I will look through my footage and see if I can pick anything up on the foils. Link to post Share on other sites
RushMan 31 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 The photos on their FB would be a good place to start Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 One news tonight you will see video footage of the 72 I just saw the add. Defiantly different foils with lots of little measurements on them. Man ETNZ is digging the knife in deep. 2 sets of foils when billionaire campaign orical only has one set...

Guest Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 The photos on their FB would be a good place to start They have hidden the boards in all of the photos especially the one with Martin Tasker in it on their facebook page and theres nothing clear in my photos as im to far away except to back up royals claim that they have new boards due to having no sponsorship on them.
