Hello Lisa,
Could you let us know about the performance differences between the foiled
and non-foiled boats please? Were there significant gains up wind and down
wind, and what wind strength appeared to provide the foiled boats with the
highest advantage? Here in Melbourne we sail in a reasonably big sea for
most of the season as most of you would have experienced when the Worlds
were here, do the foils work better in flat water and have there been any
problems sailing a foiled 14 when in a sea?
Thankyou
Anthony Anderson
