What's a "keel"? Is that like a lead transport module? Where do they deliver it? smile

Jay, they can't race for pink slips... i just checked the admin and there are no registration, title nor tags issued for that boat. They better not try and sail here in florida with those "new laws" or they may get it "confiscated" until they can prove it isn't stolen!

It is the method in which you fall over when you see the cost of the mast you just broke.

They had it out with a headsail on it earlier but broke the bowsprit(?). Pics on SA. Looks like they're playing in the kiddie pool now with just the wing.

From BOR Blog:

- Code ceros and gennakers
- Bowsprit broke later in the day

"The guys tested some soft sails today taking a look at code zeros and gennakers for use with the hard wing sail configuration. “We had a good look at the sails and some nice upwind sailing today,” said Simeon Tienpont (NED).

Later in the day, the bowsprit broke, bringing the day’s testing to a close. “It’s frustrating to break gear but we would rather break it now,” Simeon said. “We are still finding the limits on this boat and breakages are part of that process. We are all learning together. Tomorrow we will get back at it."

Miss Nylex used to sail around 3 knots with the wing mast "head to wind"

its almost impossible to get zero lift as the wind isn't constant.. Small shifts in angle creates lift..
