Hi Rolf
The conditions were as forcasted, light 5mph winds from the South. The sea state was fairly flat behind the headland with a small swell running out at the pier where the windward mark was layed. If I had known this prior to the start I would have put the T foils on. The bows were really starting to bounce around from half way up the beats around the mark to the first gybe. After that I was running with the waves and everything settled down and the boat went along quite smoothly. Although I won the race beating two F18's another F16 and three Dart 18's I would have prefferred to sail with the T foils as it felt I was loosing a lot of momentum on what turned out to be quite a bouncy ride at times. The next time I use the normal rudders will be in light winds from a more westerly direction so the bay wont be affected by the swells. Still I'm happy with experiment as I had forgotten what it was like to sail without T foils and given any reasonable wind or waves I definitely wouldn't be without them.
