Before It got too cold, I cobbled together a "rushed" assembly with one main foil and a single float on the opposite side. I did a "float test"...
Thanks for the suggestions Doug. When I first installed the kick up T rudder, I worried about the adverse affect of a kick up at speed. This was...
The small tri test platform project has restarted. First, some background of why and how. About 2 years ago I acquired a UFO foiling sailboat....
The trail of bubbles is clearly not "cavitation". Cavitation occurs when the pressure of a fluid drops below the vapor pressure (less than 1 psia...
Tom/Mark, Thanks for the continuing education opportunity. I can not seem to get a real "feel" for the finer points of wing design (I tried...
Sailed some at a Sandals resort in Jamaica week before last. Would never have thought M&M. These were pretty worse for the wear. The only one...
Overall looks like lots of fun waiting to happen. You mentioned stays. The front stay and the side stay off to the forward aka will be easy....
I knew it was a lease and had sailed under a previous name, but had lost track of what it was previously called. From wikipedia, the BP7 was a...
From point to point is 2215 nautical miles. With 90 hrs, you get 24.6 kts point to point. As a wild guess, add 15% to account for actual...
3 Record attempts for LC2, 3 new records. Sounds like the lease was a pretty good spend. Wait a minute. Last I checked, lending club is run by...
They have made the jibe they needed to keep a good wind angle. Pretty much a straight shot down from the current position. Looking at the...
I took a look at the record Distance NM___________2215 Date_________________11/05/15 Yacht_________________Geronimo Elapsed...
Posting videos while doing a record attempt is just so sweet. The crew seemed pretty happy with the way things were going. For the last few...
Average speed for last two positions was just over 31 kts.
Phaedo3 is now listed as 3rd. They dropped down a little south of the other 3 listed & seems to have lost ground due to less wind.
Avoiding gantries is worthwhile and easy. The proposed Petros requirement with clear wording could be: No portion of any appendage shall be more...
My guess is that they can only make good VMG so low. The wind direction was shifting around. If they had shifted more to the North to keep VMG,...
They have been in the low 20s for 3 hours now.
6/22/15 @ 18:00 PST they got into the teens and pretty much stayed in the teens until 6/23/15 @ 07:00 PST when they pushed into the low 20s....
First couple of hours were single digits for both wind speed and boat speed. They are out in better wind now (low single digits), but the boat is...
