Leap of faith...



Same team?

No, the first team was Streater/Whitehead.
The second team is Lindsey and dalton.

If you don't see scores, you may need to refresh your browser.

Batten tension looks off on that top batten, let me run up there and adjust it.

Was there a, "Watch This!" involved?

Or maybe just a, "Here, hold my beer..."

spin run and windward board up. Is that how you have to sail those foiling boards?

That must make gybing a bit more challenging to have to adjust the boards every time...

What's the deal with the scoring? A throw out after two races? Us that a Olympic thing?

Dalton, nice dude!

Haven't sailed the 17, but sailed the Carbon 20 here in Singapore a fair amount this month. We sailed with both boards down both up and downwind up until about 10-12 knots of breeze. Above that, windward board comes up upwind and you have to tack the boards. Downwind I'm not convinced where the transition to raising the boards is- might depend on chop. We have very flat water in Singapore. We didn't raise the windward board higher than the leeward downwind because you are flying the hull higher.

Now, the boards on the 17 are actually longer than one the 20, so all I said above could be completely wrong!

I like the RRS change to RET from RAF. But, why did they retire?

Mike

Do you still have to sail 8 miles down Key Biscayne to the race circle? Maybe they needed to make a repair?

From what I heard it pays to double trap going downwind.
Shame that mostly the "bloopers" get published and not the regular pics (mark roundings etc).

NASAR Nation, or a sinister plot by the monohullers that control the world?

If it bleeds it leads. Ever watch NASCAR highlights or Hockey highlights?

Because when you're shopping for sponsorship $$ you need to be a bit of a media whore. Do you really think anyone putting together an olympic bid thinks they are a piker?

I'll admit I'm about as far out of social conventions as possible and still interact with the human race (you are an odd race I might add... it's going in my report to the mother ship), but what is a "piker"?

Ding, are you going all Madonna on me, developing an english accent despite living in the 'Compton hood' of Orlando?
