Nice pictures utterly ruined by excessive copyright graffiti. Certainly would not be buying any photographs by photoboat if this is the level of respect they give their target audience.

I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me. |

Kite up, nose down? I know I got too far forward as I went out on the wire before we point out the obvious

Apologies to NP but I have to answer this one! The D-One is in, I would guess a 30 Knot viscous gust, with frozen sheets (-10 C wind chill at the best) whereas the other boat is in a reasonably light wind and warm (ish) day. Sorry James but the posting is out of order and no comparison can be made as the conditions are completely different. One of the boats here seems to be healing quite a lot with it's wing in the water, I hate to think what will happen in waves |

The inversion is interesting: my view (as a 300er of a few years experience) is that the kite pulling up or down is an irrelevance, it is the forward bend (inversion) on the mast that will push the nose in. Although the 300 has a reputation for nose dives which many outside the class see as being due to the lack of bouyancy from that elegane nose, most nose dives are actually induced by the bend in the mast. The same sideways bend which allows gust response upwind turns into fore and aft bend on bearing away, and pushes the nose in. It can happen in flat water. Clearly the D-One is rigged differently but there is enough in those photos for me to think it has a mast bend induced nose-in problem. I don't see the same in the RS100. |
