Dave’s foiling tacks

Posted on March 25, 2009 by Bruce

Rohan and Amac hinted it was possible, Bora came really, really close with “foiling tacks ladies”; but Dave Lister has finally done it.

Need proof ?

Dave has that boat soooo well tuned, just so high and so stable. If his next boat is even quicker than the current one, watch out world.

Can you get a GPS on his boat for us too.
Having watched Dave drive manic in a blow, 28kts would be quickly mashed and seem pedestrian.
I’m sure he’s gone quicker already, can’t be proved yet tho.
Most important go fast component on manic – Balls, big balls!
Is there any way we can ban Dave from sailing mid week, so the rest of us have a chance to catch up?

@MartyJ Re the GPS … We throw mine on his from time to time … we are just waiting for the right day.
