    looks like the rudder could do with profiling, max amount in water when none foiling and slowly decreases as the boat lifts out, a ratio of how much keel is in the water perhaps. Love to have a go, looks great fast fun.

  • @ianedmonds9191
    @ianedmonds9191 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's pretty crazy to think a foil can lift a laser hull out the water and still be faster through the water.
    The angles must be causing a lot of drag. I guess it only has to be less than the hull and the centreboard but Wow.
    Surprised the Full rig has the power to do this.
    I wonder how the heel compares? Less centreboard in the water so more heel but it goes faster so less relative forces on the sailplan.
    Interesting equation.
    If I was 10 years younger I'd love to try it.
    Luv and Peace.

    • @fenui
      @fenui ปีที่แล้ว

      I'd guess the answer to balancing is to tilt the boat to the weather, like moth sailors and windsurfers do. That way you can harness more of the wind. Just start it in a reach then head up

    • @ianedmonds9191
      @ianedmonds9191 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@fenui That seems intuitive but remember the more you tilt the boat off centre to windward the less lift is being provided to raise the hull.
      In fact it will increase drag. It will help combat weather helm which is a plus I suppose.
      I bet the Laser full rig is pretty marginal to lift at the best of times so I doubt the crazy angles of moths would be beneficial. Having said that I know nothing about this so it's idle speculation.
      I wish they could make a wing efficient enough to loft an L4K. That would tempt me back to fast dinghies. 🙂

    Sail Laser since 89...Now the ILCA 7 are 30 kg lighter.. Upwind with tactics I still win them but the rest they are much more speed, much lighter.. Old Standard and the new, same points... Nowadays they are poor on tactics, trainers (?) supporting, gyms.. Not in Laser competition anymore, only some Regional regatta... Big boats for some years... Not the same.. Sometimes is like a job when we sometimes had problems with colegues of work.. "Team" work depends sometimes and strongly with character, attitude and personality of people..And coordenation.. Crews are not always the same.. Diplomacy... Laser is to ride at high speed with myself.. Great boat in everything.. 👍👌

    • @clypeum5063
      @clypeum5063 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      water and air are technically both fluids, you create (like with an airplane wing) more fluid speed on one side in comparison to the oder side of the wing. the difference creates sucktion and will lift you up in the air or out of the water. another point is just the angle of the wing, comparable with holding your flat hand out of the window while driving a car. if you angle up your hand you produce lift and if you angle it down you create downforce.

      Yeah that's little more than half the price of a new Laser. Buuuut there are already over 200.000 Lasers around... a Laser that foils is a pretty great sales proposition when you compare it to the 40k foiling Cat that will need much more playspace...
      Other solo foils will set you back $15k (like the Waszp Moth) as a complete kit, but then you have to take looong shipping times and probably import taxes into account. Plus if something breaks you will have problems, just slapping this upgrade on a laser will leave you with access to cheap sails and lots of compatible gear for your toy.
      Tho probably a hull that is designed for foiling will perform MUCH better, just because they will save a lot of weight in hull, which in turn improves balance and stability.

    Obviously you are not very familiar with hydrodynamics and flying. By having the foils agled and v-angled it makes the behaviour more subtle. The lift and change of lift will decrease by the cosine and you should have at least a touch more margin of error.
