Video of the week

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.

if you forget that the boat is being sailed by two teenagers in a big wind, then it almost looks like a good boat

my method of tacking the 600 is to lift myself up with my mainsheet hand (remembering to bring the mainsheet undr the trapeze elastic beforehand) then stand up slowly pushing the tiller away untill the boat is only just not coming on top of me. at this point i step into the boat, ditc n armful of mainsheet, push the tiller hard away, and run at the opposite trapeze handle. somehwere at this point i manage to get the tille into my new back hand, with the mainsheet. then i kneel/stand on the side deck, hook on and leap out, pulling the main in as i go.

this seems to work for me, but i haven't tried the sitting on the rack option. i will try this when i next get out in the boat (god knows when that will be, i need to sort out the main halyard cleat (cleet or cleat?) before that, it keeps jumping out the cleat and falling down the mast 6 inches or so everytime i pull on kicker or downhaul!).
