Tech Chat / Re: Foil rules clarification
Last post by deefender1098 - September 09, 2024, 09:45:26 PM
I believe this was discussed internally and the basic end of the conversation was something like : through motorsport a single element is fairly clearly defined so we don’t need to generate a definition for what is already out there….

My understanding is that flap on the back of a foil is part of a single element foil, a kite foil/ wingfoil that has two elements is two elements even if formed as part of a one piece moulding

Re rule 4.1.9 Anti Full Foiling Rule - Only one hydrofoil generating lift in a vertical axis and comprising one element is permitted.

What is the classes definition of element? as it is undefined in the equipment rules of sailing the technical rules are based on

Crew Search / Again
Last post by dave_ching - August 09, 2024, 05:20:01 PM
It is that time again!
Eleanor needs a crew.
OM is a trully brilliant crew, but without some drastic surgery for both of us, we are unable to find all of Eleanor's true pace.
Are you or do you know of someone who is 75kg or less,
would be able to  practice at least once a month and do events?
If so conract me and we can try flying a kite.

Well done Andy and Jill for winning the X'th National Championship!

Its really encouraging to see the fleet as a whole grow (we got 12 boats this year) and improve (we had many races where the top 6 were together all the way around the course
So thank you and thank you to Dale YC for hosting the event, It's definitely a place I'd love to go back to (just with some water)

Trying out a top down view of sailing.

It mostly works but I think I may need to mount it a bit higher so that it is possible to see the kite and a bit more  when on the other tack.

This is one of the brackets I have made up. Where do you think it is used?

There was a good camera mount idea at the show this year the pin for the Rudder was large enough to attach a stick to.
The benefit was that the pin didn't move unlike a boom mount.
