Some more testing in fun conditions
Last Saturday, 14th March 2009, Lyttelton came up with a nice steady slowly building breeze. Conditions started at around 8kts and built to a nice 14kts over a couple of hours. Perfect to give a couple of us a try at the foils.
Sunday May 3rd 2009 dawned cool and clear. Forecast was good if a little light and the water is COLD.
Dave and Tim sail on the foiler and the first set of prepreg foils are nearly complete and the second set are well underway.
The first non Canterbury set of foils will be started on soon
