Well apparently John Ilett makes his foils in XXL sizes. How do I know this? Some rather silly people thought it would be a good idea to bolt some foils to an older 18 foot skiff!

There are some YouTube videos of the first flight here and the 3rd flight under spinnaker here, and some photo’s here.

Not me! Luka, however has this honor as one of my SIRS photos from late last year is being used for the poster.

After destroying my last centreboard in the nationals, over winter with the help of my trusty offsider we built a new main foil. Or so we thought …

A combinaiton of cold temperature and potentialy dodgy resin (I haven’t tested this theory yet), resulted in nothing but a big sticky mess of resin soaked carbon cloth. Needless to say, this is extremely dissapointing, especially as there is a worldwide carbon shortage at the moment and I now have to go and buy some more uni’s.
