A much better setup
This morning was analytics time. The Angle Pro, kindly on loan from Mark Wolny came out and setups were compared with the club pace leader and mine. As a couple of people have suggested, the rudder was the main source of my pain, with the angle of attack set completely the wrong way. After a quick adjustment, the numbers were looking a lot better, so I decided to use that setup today. Comparing the new setup to the old one is like comparing apples and oranges as it was only 7 knots last time out and we had gusts up to 20 today. The boat felt much better and I managed to clock 17.2knots. The boat has a lot more speed in it, and I was spending most of the time trying to slow it down. For the first time I was managing to stay up from tack to tack, and I am now starting to get to hang of this whole flying thing. All I need to do is learn how to tack, gybe and sail downwind on a foiler, and I might be getting somewhere.
