Hi Paul,

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

Hi [mention]paul_croote [/mention]

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?

Hi Andy
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.

Shall do, thanks for the heads up. I’m planning to get it to the club and first sail this weekend so I’ll take some measurements of it on the stump.

We are looking forward to helping finish this off when we arrive on Sunday.

Typically no wind for over a month, then it all comes in on Saturday!!

Stump peg is 40x16mm and mast is on zee roof!

That was one the Lees made for Antidote from  two windsurf board skegs. I think Marmites is about 1100mm span.

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?

Hi Paul,

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