Der Durchbruch - Foilen statt heulen
The breakthrough:I had my best foiling evening yesterday from 18.30h - 20.30h. Than the wind dropped and with Koos (Flying a Moth for starters ) tipp of releasing the wand I got home nicely. It was kind of a breakthrough for me yesterday. Undisturbed airtime, less capzising, a lot of fun. Going downwind: BIG fun. upwind: Lot´s to learn. Trying the "Veal-heel": I am splashing into the water on the windward site but get back into the boat better than before.Conclusion:Due to the damaged swivel which might not have hold the wand into place (angle wise) the boat felt sticky and did not want to fly the days before. Thus not much learning. Now with my new (self made, see photo) carbon swivel the boat feels like new. A pity, I did not measure wind, nor GPS speed yesterday.Elbows and knees need better protection. Hurts a lot today. Maybe I should sand the deck a little bit.Segeln, sailing, sailracing, kiten, Iceboating, DN, Regattataktik, windsurfen, Dinghy sailing, Jollensegeln, IMS, Sportboats, Sportboote Full Story »
