First
Guess who was first to do a foiling gybe on SLINO...?
Guess who is owed a rum...?
Started out with 20 knots today so decided on the chicken rig. Markla was first but had a couple of big crashes early with a tangled wand not working properly. Ended up being about 12 knots by the time we were off the water. The chicken rig still faired reasonably well in the lighter wind except for trying to stay deep downwind, that was a bit of an effort but to be expected.
Narkla hit bottom, hard, while going into a tack on foils. Water was only about thigh deep...doh! No major damage (slight chip on one tip) but these foils of Al's are really taking a beating well. They've hit bottom at pace a number of times. Bit of a drag to get back to deeper water only to have some shunt jetskier spray me from within a boat length, TOOL!
Still lacking a bit of height so the plan is to add a little AOA to the mainfoil and see what happens.

two videos
don't watch them
i don't watch yours
moth videos are now boring
me trying to gybe
and me failing into into the poontoon
and nick failing fend me from the poontoon
and nick failing to film me crashing into the poontoon
n4rkla sailing a bit
lots of training recently
one interesting mod, in these videos we have removed the shockcord that self-centres the rudders. the boat is much more vibrant to sail without the shockchord. it is easier to sail thru the maneuvers too. Alan mentioned that the fast australians are going back to shockcord on the rudders to help them fack. even so i think it will be a while before i put it back on
worth noting that the boat crashed with a very loud bang (1:35 in first vid), but there is not a sign of damage. i didn't even bring it back to shore afterwards.

nationals results
Go Alan!
Something strange is happening (lotta bad links) with the imoth-wa website but i did find some results here:
http://nsigns.com.au/moth/results/
Just click any of the date modifieds after 1.Jan.10.
This appears to be more of a workaround than something right so I don't know how long the link will work for.
