yes you a right and that is a very good point.

 

upwind over waves or nose diving downwind can be affected by fore and aft trim.

 

The wave set in SF is different to Hauraki gulf.

 

OR knows what does not work........ :shock:

If you believe that you'll believe anything. When The boats is on its way to USA.

 

My sources are good. Don't worry :D

 

Better then the OR foiling wheelie stop gybe :lol:

 

 

Hot Curry or Satay.

 

 

Hmmm

 

Don't the rules say you can only have one foil in the water at any one time?

 

Quote 'Dropped down to 30 knots through the gibe then back up to 40 again.'

 

A jibe at That speed ??? :crazy: :? :evil: :crazy:

 

It must be pretty good stuff you are on. Any chance sending some my way,

You might have to read the rules again my friend

 

You can have both boards down either side of a jibe or tack

You have missed the point -- The forces at 30 knots at there weight. 30 secs is pretty short.

 

 

Whats more ETNZ have not even made it around the track yet, and I doubt if they will.

60sec plus time for tack or gibe is the time they can have both main boards down.

 

BTW there was a quote from OR saying something like speed dropping to 30kn during a gybe. Cannot find the source of it.

Foils in same position as ETNZ now. Seems we were right and they were wrong. OR playing catch up now. I think they might be as quick as ETNZs boat 1 and wing one 1. Probably 1 year behind ETNZ in the boat development.

 

The cup is coming home :D

 

FYI - ETNZ and LR are very happy with ORs boat 2 :D
