Today the wind was even better, there was enough wind to foil once every ten minutes. One thing is for sure: I definetely need to loose weight for our lake. I should get to 85kg till the worlds…
Today I had my parents on their Sprinta Sport to take pictures. However, they were always to far away or just they weren’t quick enough. So there is still no picture available. I will give it another go tomorrow.
The picture on the left shows my being towed by the DLRG. I got foiling and had some bad luck: the bottom splint of my gantry broke. I took the gantry home (all gantrys on our boats can be taken off easily for transport) and repaired it already. I also worked a little bit on the push rod mechanism: the old push rod was made using a glasfibre rod. Unfortunately this road grindet in the tube so that a the swarf wedged the rod. Now I have made a new rod with some wire.
I hope to load up a picture tomorrow
It is going to be a close finish for the build race. My boat is on the car ready to go and a force 2 dropping later in the day to a zero is forecast. So I hope to get foiling but we will see what the wind gods do.
