I went out for a sail today, and the true nature of my setup, (or lack there of) is now showing. The bottom gudgeon on the boat is too loose and allowing the rudder about 5 degrees of movement to the left. This makes for some interesting foiling let me tell you.

The rudder needs an angle adjustment as well, as the boat is flying bow up. But hey at least nothing broke !

According to GPS action replay I did 17.7 knots, but I think that was a spike, and the other 12-13 knot runs feel more realistic, for the short runs I was doing across the river in front of the club.

5 bests’ average = 26.06km/h [14.07Knots]
Best Speed n°1 = 32.82km/h [17.72Knots] (118.5 meters in 13.0 sec.)
Best Speed n°2 = 24.92km/h [13.46Knots] (41.5 meters in 6.0 sec.)
Best Speed n°3 = 24.79km/h [13.38Knots] (27.5 meters in 4.0 sec.)
Best Speed n°4 = 23.88km/h [12.9Knots] (19.9 meters in 3.0 sec.)
Best Speed n°5 = 23.87km/h [12.89Knots] (13.3 meters in 2.0 sec.)
Best Speed n°6 = 23.02km/h [12.43Knots] (32.0 meters in 5.0 sec.)
Best Speed n°7 = 22.76km/h [12.29Knots] (19.0 meters in 3.0 sec.)
Best Speed n°8 = 22.74km/h [12.28Knots] (50.5 meters in 8.0 sec.)
Best Speed n°9 = 22.72km/h [12.27Knots] (12.6 meters in 2.0 sec.)
Best Speed n°10 = 22.59km/h [12.2Knots] (37.7 meters in 6.0 sec.)

So I will be fixing the rudder and making some more tweaks before I go out again on Monday.
