Mike, were you foiling that high all the way around ? It looks like the Axiom 4 is getting there, just a bit of tuning on the foiling height needed. It looks a bit high, you could run at least 6 inches lower and probably reduce the drag by as much as 15%. Its looking good though.


why would it being high in the air cause more drag than if it was lower ??

Didn't they stop making MX rays before due to few selling and now their starting selling them again? Good advertisement film though...makes it look almost tempting!

good advert - but not as good as the moth advert from rutland. 
Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else
