Pete,
4th out of 40ish in the Weds evening race last week - no 800's though, so improving from our glorious last place in the first race we did in May. Light winds and a trapezoid course set at an angle to the wind so consisting of 1 tack and 1 gybe at the lateral points of the diamond were key. The musto skiffs were faster upwind and also faster downwind when not planning. As soon as we got a puff downwind we would be almost double the musto's speed as the puffs were invariably not strong enough to get them fully on the plane. Still can't get by the top 400's in the lighter winds, but then no one else can either as they were 1,2,3.
T-foil, well it is attached is about as far as it goes. Still have to make the adjustment so it is either on or off at the moment. Jill has just started carrying the GPS for speed measuring, we are probably off sailing later today as it is a windy evening at QMSC. Providing we don't spend extended periods scaring the fish I'll let you know what sort of speed we max with.
