Yep she's slow and they wnt be able to fix that in time. Rita is just slow at turning

Stay off the drugs

@phillipmurray1724 Hey Phil. Did you know that a third of the members of the RNZYS resigned when Dalton announced he was taking the cup offshore? We will never see racing in Auckland again. Why should we support it? Maybe you're still knitting the red socks?

@stevenbissett loved the lucky red socks 🧦 rip Sir Peter the legend. A great time was had by all. It doesn't matter where it's sailed. I liken it to the chances of getting the Rugby world cup back. 2011 RWC was incredible but not getting back down under hasn't stopped us from supporting the All Blacks has it? We can't have it both ways. If it's not financially viable then why risk it just to please a few oldies at the RNZYS. 👍

@@phillipmurray1724 I wonder what you make of the locals in Barcelona protesting against the America's Cup. Perhaps Dalton has learned that you can't have it both ways as well?

​@@stevenbissett better change your diaper, it's soiled.

Ouch.

@@fabiocampagnoli oooops… 😂😂😂

@@aidan463 ahahah, so pathetic! They really can make you believe anything they want.

i think they are having tacking practice

@@georgemaunder8550 They have two foils down for most of it. That's not something they'd want to do outside the start box unless they want their tacks to be even slower.

Back on the Solent?

Not true. In straight up top speed it's quicker than the Kiwi boat. But Obviously there must be something else going on then. The Kiwi boat is quicker to accelerate out of tacks spending more time at its top speed than INOS. Mosey Sails channel gave us this data. These boats are a lot closer in performance than the results show so far.

Anything that Mossey says is not always right, unless your British of course, cheers 😢 mate

@@alexmartin3360Rob Gulan who is occasionally on that Mozzy Sails is an extraordinary analyst. I think he’s a Naval engineer. But he’s not on there very often.

@@ranter7100 Perhaps if you’re going in a straight line drag for 2-3 mile solid, that top end speed maybe a factor. Everything went right in race 4 at the start for Ineos Britannia and yet Taihoro still prevailed. You could look at graphs to kingdom come and in the end it comes down to many factors on the race course.

Oh thats abit harsh..the thing is in the AC... you dont know what you dont know until you find out .. the hard way!

Awesome to hear! Yeah 6m should be perfect for your weight

Nah Lake Pupuke

Yeah that foil setup is my go-to for light conditions. My f-one board ended up leaking, so I'm not onto a 68l PPC, which still gives me solid light wind abilities. I weight about 80 kgs now. I reckon perhaps a 70l board would be right for you.

Awesome. Thanks for the comment. Where are you based?

@@SailChaser Ontario, Canada. Lots of little lakes and then Great Lakes to explore! :D

yeah I love it there too. I imagine the conditions will be even crazier tomorrow

I like the Axis ART899! It's fast, and feels loose. Trying to try a 699 for comparison

Thanks for the kind comment! Yeah, I sort of shuffle as i prepare for the gybe. The downside to this technique as it can be tricky in the surf to maintain balance.

Video is being planned! Will let you know when it's ready (a week or two)

I agree, it looks pretty light for such a tiny board so would love to know the technique

Thank you 🙌

That’s exactly what I would’ve thought, when I first tried jumping the board. But it turns out it’s just as easy if not easier because of how little board there is, so long you land when there’s still a nice gust of wind and basically just all back foot pressure then you can kinda just continue on as if nothing happened. Only problem is when you jump when there isn’t a gust, then you kinda just start sinking back down to your neck (for me atleast).

@@thefoilingfox nice, as long as you have the wind it's okay then. What wing size were you on?

@@vasilistsiaras9170 PPC Surge 5.8. You only need this wing size when it’s not so windy and you intend on doing jumps, when it’s a bit windier like 20-30kt plus you will not need such a bit wing. I only take take a big wing for bigger jumps and to make it easier for me to get it.

@@thefoilingfox thanks, yeah the biggest I use it a 5 from 12knots

Sometime this week we may be able to show the technique with a GoPro for a POV shot and a drone for a different perspective but that’s mainly reliant on wind

Thanks for the comment and cheers Matt for responding. Yup, we'll create another vid soon showing the water start technique.

Hey there, I am Matthew (aka the person on the 9L). There was about 15-20kt gusts, and I weigh about 66kg. Thanks

@@thefoilingfox Great skills! Congrats.

@@buenacloud Thanks

Lake Pupuke, Takapuna, Auckland NZ 😀

@@Chris-NZ sweet thanks! another fun thing to do when visiting NZ! looks like a wonderful place to wing (for beginners)

Sure is Lake Pupuke. Send me a message and I can organise a lesson for you!

Hey Greg, I weigh 80kgs

@@SailChaser ahh.... 44lbs less than me.

Cheers! I use the short fuselage, but I'd recommend the ultrashort. My rear wing is the 400 flat speed.

May I ask why the short fuse? I assumed the longer fuse would have more glide. Is it possibly harder to pump up to foil?

Yeah I wonder if my wing bends simply because it's quite old and bagged out. I do try to now pump it to 9psi (8 is the recommendation). Thank you for the feedback on the video too :)

Thank you!!

Awesome, thanks for the suggestion to create this one. Let me know how you go with the 1:1 ratio when you step down. Cheers
