Posts: 118 fl | what are you sailing these days? And I know Jake's already trying to hack ENTZ database to copy their carbon layup schedule on the foil package.... Nah. I'm staying out of all this foiling business until things calm the heck down. I don't need that much more frustration in my life and am happy working on the finer details of rigging/sailing at the moment. A-cat, F18, and J22. I think I'm going to list the F18 for sale soon because it just doesn't hit the water very often. My a-cat is a 2007 XJ that's super clean and I've updated it with foam decks and modernized some rigging stuff. Otherwise, it's bone stock and fast. I love the boat and have had some good results with it. cool ever get cough in a storm on the a-cat?

I've definitely been out in stuff I probably shouldn't have been out in, limped to the lee of an island, dropped sail, and sailed back under mast alone (doing 11 knots). I also Had it out in a distance race a few weeks ago and the wind changed dramatically and started gusting to the upper 20s...and I was on a long a reach wishing like hell the guy ahead of me in 1st place would get off the trapeze so I could justify getting off the trapeze ;-) (definitely found a condition where a pre-foiling DNA with curved boards has an advantage over a straight board A-cat!).

Posts: 118 fl | so my next question is: do you ever feel like the light boatweight is an issue? i.e. - in 20+ do you feel less stable / secure than you would on a f18? cool ever get cough in a storm on the a-cat?

Posts: 5,590 Naples, FL | Okay, so I'm looking at the TV guide and NBC will not be broadcasting the AC races today.
Their streaming app doesn't have it showing either... Their next AC stream will be Tuesday 13:00 EST
So.... any idea how to catch today's racing? Its not critical it be "live", but would be nice to see at some point...
