You can also just gybe and pull the A-line in the direction of travel - thats my approach with the pocket rockets, if there is enough wind to hold pressure they will pivot on axis and you're away. A benefit of this method is if its really sketchy you don't even need the wing to stay in the air, pull the A-line and gybe if there is not enough wind to keep pressure in the wing you end up in the same position as if you were doing a relaunch with the wing on your downwind side and the leading edge facing the wind and you can pump out in direction of travel to get air in the wing. If its lulled out I can get away with this in glass off conditions. Tacking works, but for me if I kook it in the transition I may drop off foil without speed which might not be recoverable, or not be able to generate apparent wind.

I'd love to know how the hatch compares when you get it. I'm currently tossing up between a 5m quest and hatch v2. Speed isn't what I want and it seems that's what frigate v2 is designed towards.

I didn't swing by the slingshot tent at all since they are local and have a demo center where people can go in and ask questions. Lift, Code, Armstrong, Sunova took up most of the day and then I did a couple walkthroughs looking for other things but didn't spot any shockers. It takes a lot of time to dive into conversations with staff at every tent! Best to leave that to the paid folks.
