Hi all, well we are all crowded into the half sunken timing hut on speed-spot. The wind is pumping outside. We did our first run in winds gusting to 28 knots. It went ok from a handling perspective although we didn't manage to get the wing unstalled. We did get up to 21 knots with the 'wedge' foil.... but we obviously need to get a better starting sequence. I had to bare away from the beach just as she started to lift out as the acceleration wasn't as good as with the 'normal' sub cavitating foil.

Anyway, we are standing by for a slight drop as the wind is getting up to 30. I will go again if it doesn't begin to drop a bit in the afternoon. We have shown we can handle it.

Soooo... here is the video from yesterday. Helena has done a great job to film, edit and upload it (from out here on speed spot).
