This sounds like a fantastic opportunity to get my son involved so he can learn how to help look after Loco.
We will bring her mast along as it’s had a strange repair in the past, possibly lost its mast foot at some point. I’ll attach some pictures.
We can only make the Sunday unfortunately, travelling over from North Baddesley (Hampshire) and happy to bring anyone else along who doesn’t mind cherub banter, cheesy music with some Indy rock for good measure for 2hrs solid……. Music is optional

I hear your running the largest t foil in the fleet…….. may I enquire to your size and feedback please?
Loco came with some “extra hydrofoils”, and I’m thinking about making a light wind t foil with the spare rudder.
One for the sticky weekend perhaps?

From memory I think your mast is quite raked compared to the stump in the boat. If you have time it may be worth rigging and making a cardboard template of the angle so we can make the mast foot to suit.

We are looking forward to helping finish this off when we arrive on Sunday.Hi Andy, if you are not bringing the mast, have you got the inside diameter of the inner tube in the mast and also the overall diameter?

I’m bringing the mast along as I’ll need support to rebuild the base. Been pretty badly bodged in the past.

Thank you everyone for such an amazing day!! Evan had so much fun and loved learning from you all
So many photos to share (I’ll send on WhatsApp), but I can’t thank team sticky weekend enough for everything you did for us and the mast. Can’t wait to get it back up and on the water with its new mast foot and repaired spreader
