Hi Ian.Great pictures thanks for the information on your kinked foils. I have actually placed some tubes 2cm forward of the existing tubes vertically placed so will make some kinked foils for them and have some fun trying them out.Also have managed to insert two tubes in the main hull for trying a fin on very light days and wondered if you could advise me on the depth you would consider it should be.Have now got 5 suits of sails to play with so hope to be out sailing in all weathers.regardsRay
Hi Ian, Looking great, seems to foil very nicely. How much less stable than my 2m trimaran is it? Look forward to seeing more videos from down under. Cheers Mike.
+Mike Dann (Bluefish) Hi Mike - the boat is obviously less stable than your 2metre tri, but it is just about as good as a Mini40 which really pleased us. Far exceeded our expectations!
Hello we stopped producing this boat 4 years ago. We are now developing a more advanced version, seen here th-cam.com/video/MCasLKym6E0/w-d-xo.html and here th-cam.com/video/AcLM1rfsc6o/w-d-xo.html
Hello Ian I have followed your progress with interest as you have developed foiling tris. This one seems very stable. Are the foils set or self adjusting?
+precisionforex Hello there - the foils are only adjustable by screw adjuster when on the shore. They do not adjust whilst sailing. We have experimented with wand-controlled foils but find that the moving components are simply too complex and fragile to be worth pursuing further. Rgds

Wow that thing flies!

Is there a web site?
Hi Peter no there is not a web site but if you give me your email address I can send you details
You've got mail! Well, a TH-cam message from yours truly - I dig the look of this boat, and i mean that in a how she runs kind of way.
