I thought Carantoc was... busy, busy, busy.


I would imagine he is.

Not enough time in the day when you’re having to manage replies across three or four different seabreeze accounts

Im quite sure the other water sports you’ve been doing will help you jump straight back into it. Maybe a brief baptism of fire for the first few runs (penance for your sins?) but won’t take much for the muscle memory to kick in.

you may even find yourself wanting a smaller fsw at your weight, but 100L not a bad idea to start with.

Here you go:




Obviously these foil sections are greatly exaggerated (you don’t/probably won’t ever see a windfoil front wing look like that), and my drawings are crappy. But i would gather this is what he’s talking about.


when you start adding camber to the bottom surface of the foil, you introduce a rolling effect (imagine theres no stabilizer) as the foil moves through the water, before it starts to cavitate.


you put a little “hook” on the trailing edge, and it helps to counter the rolling effect.


correct me if im wrong Jaumet?

No offence to Jez, but i’ve heard mast track mounted “nose protecters” are a good way to rip a mast track out.

speaking of which, i’ve got a board i gotta get you to take a look at sometime Mark.

Do what all good councils do, to tree lopping view seekers, install a largish sign/lattice/whatever (on your property, out of reach) that blocks his ocean view regardless of the tree.


also install a camera so you can capture the inevitable point when he’ll jump the fence to deal with it.

you’re at the point of playing petty right?

You might be able to to repair the go board, or build your own.


This^^^


the board is currently “destroyed beyond repair.” If you have the materials /time/some understanding of how to do it, and the board serves your purpose better than another one would, then destroyed beyond repair is exactly the required excuse to try and fix it, and improve it too.

why not rebuild it back to something better by adding a foil box and giving it the required re enforcement for foiling?

dude. Think of the shop owners kids…buy 2


Yeah those kids have to get through uni.

i think you need at least three of each for a proper amount of redundancy. I mean, you might snap 2 in the space of 6 months.

I think through winter they’re generally not open weekend days (to the best of my knowledge)

If they aren't too big, you can drop an icecream container over them, slide a thin sheet of something under them and carry them outside, just be sure there's no gaps between container and sheet.





I can tell you my extraction method once. Another long time ago, when my 1st house settled 20 years ago, I jumped in the car at work to pick up my keys at the real estate agent. Driving off the site's road, a big Huntsman appeared on my radio. I haven't been living in Adelaide for very long, and didn't know what they were. I just saw Alien movie in my car. So I jumped out of the car as it was going along. The car was doing about 10km/h I think, and I was jogging along next to it. A runner stopped me and said to me something like "What the F are you doing mate ?". And I told him. He just Hummffed, and said let's look. The car rolled to a stop and conked out. So, he was there with a piece of cardboard trying to extract it from the front passenger foot well. He was dicking around for a minute or so, until I pushed him aside, and rammed my foot repeatedly into the foot well. He called me a f/head, and jogged off. But, crisis was averted. The end.



I would’ve just set fire to the car. Thats the safest way to deal with it.

Alice Springs is my favourite spot, tend not to sail anywhere else. Friendly locals too.

Agree Decrepit’s post. This is an opportunity to pull the rocker back to where it should be and could end up faster


Faster is something I realise every one else is whenever i go for a sail🤔

Im sure everybody has had a bit of a think about this.


AI if you listen to those in the "know" is going to take over somewhat comprehensively. Where does that leave us?

Hows the industry you work in looking? I can see some getting wiped out, others i think the take over is going to be near impossible.
