After a quiet night at anchor we headed back to Kiel city to drop Di off for her work trip back to UK. After seeing her off at the Station Hollie and I headed back to the boat ad treated ourselves with David and Suzanne to a meal in THE Keil Yacht Club. Lovely restaurant with excellent food. Hollie had the ‘best steak and chips she has ever had’ – very nice. more »

more wind please
Posted 5 months, 3 days ago by Moth Blog
So saturday provided a breeze that was a huge 5-7 knot SE breeze, another day where
foiling was a challenge for all. Due to a last minute work trip to Brisbane, and a
few errands on Saturday morning I only had an hour to get things sorted before heading
out on the water. The best part of the race for me was a perfect port tack start on
the biased pin end followed by a quick tack over to starboard ahead of the rest, 5
seconds later they were starting to get up and go. Game over.
The setup is still set at 1.5 degrees on the main foil, but it definitely needs more.
I can get good lift from the front foil by putting on more AOA but as soon as she
gets going, the wand reduces the lift with the bow up so high and the main foil then
stalls out and she crashes back down.
One good thing about this is that I have seen this problem on the second and third
week out, due to the light winds. If the winds had been say 15 knots instead of 8,
then this problem would have been masked by the extra wind speed.
One of the other problems I am having is knowing what the correct angles are to sail
downwind. With no boats around to compare with, it makes it harder to try different
headings and see the differences in VMG.
So another thing that this confirms is that NOT going to the nationals in Wallaroo
was definitely the right thing to do, as I would have been absolutely nowhere, and
extremely frustrated.
