I missed out on sailing again this week as I had go to an auction. The good news is that we got the house ! The bad news is that I still haven’t had a chance to take the boat out. The foil is back together, with a new stevo© innovation on the centreboard flap. I had to quickly get that modification done, before the patent application goes through and the Stevo boys charge me for patent infringement.

All jokes aside, this weekend should be the weekend where the beast gets unleashed, or something else will break …

It seems that I have lost the title of unluckiest mothie around. Donosan’s old boat returned to the club to have the mast break first time out with the new owner. Once repaired and back on the water, the boat’s rudder decided that it was jealous on being on a Tiger MK1 and not Grant’s Mk2, and decided that the deck and rear flares weren’t needed anymore and promptly proceeded to start the conversion process itself.

It’s enough to make you cry …

So hopefully … everything crossed … whether permitting … I’ll foil. (Otherwise I am going to have to rename the boat AeroSKIFF )
