whats the idea behind the y foil?

It was also intended to cant - so one leg was horizontal = lift, and one leg vertical = side force.
see the 'Miller foiling sailboards' .
Never actually used it like that, but it is one side of my foiling moth, plus the other side angled foil grafted on.   so it's probably older than you are   :D

What about some other letters of the alphabet.  I can see some being difficult to build and others harder to deploy through a rudder stock! ;D

I won the stocks but lost out on the bidding for the foils. . .  So if anybody wants some centreboard casings then follow the link for more details. . . . .

BUT ... the Y-foil might be available again.  ( I'll know by 13 Jan evening )

but you would have to arrange collection - because delivery is quoted at £90 due to the stupid shape that measures at umpteen cubic feet.

Maybe it could go with 3208 when I've finished witrh it next week, and Simon/Dean collect the boat.

If the Y foil is available I'l definitely consider buying it off you!

Is 3208 going to the Chew Valley Blast? If so would it be possible to pick it up of them then?

Also what would you want for it?
