On Monday my father wanted to take out the prototype. He has been building the boats with me and Helmut and he was very enthusiastic about trying our work out, especially since he has seen me foiling.
Unfortunately when he got out he fell on the tiller with his butt and broke it after only five minutes of sailing. Worse still, the tillers of the other three boats were not done, so I couldn’t just change tillers. So still no picture today.
Doug has launched his boat yesterday and foiled right away. Apparently the boat behaved great and was trimmed good – just like mine. Nikolas has written a short post about Flashheart’s first time.
(Un)fortunately Doug’s camera crew failed – just like mine did. Thus the build race is still on.
As I am on a Business trip to Berlin till Saturday I will try to get the picture on Sunday.
