So I got my latest main foil back together in time for today’s race. I spent a lot of time faring it and making it smooth, but there is still a few things to do before I undercoat it this week.

So on the boat the foil is soooooooo much slipperier (is that a real word ?) than the old square one and you can just feel the boat wanting to go.

However the boat wasn’t quite right. The boat would take off, then level out, then rise again. The wand would flick off, the boat would keep rising and then get all floatey before stalling out and coming back down. At the top mark I stopped to have a look, and noticed that my pushrod had decided to pull out of the flap, so I had lots of flap down but no lap up.

I disconnected everything, and proceeded to low ride back to the club. I have already fixed the problem, and I am ready to head out mid week, and join Phil and Dave (shown during last week deep in a foil setup conference).
