Nice 😎

Speaking of lift, I'm now using 115++ with SB 1000 wing and this combo has noticeably more lift than the 115+ fuse. Stall speed / min. speed required to foil is also lower, about 1,5-2 knots. Jibes in conditions below 8 kt are easier, above they require more front foot pressure.

I'd encourage others to work on their pumping technique and experiment with low mast rake (I use 1-1.4 degree on flat water). 8 kt average wind shouldn't be a problem if water state is favorable, and the foiling speeds are much higher than on twin foil config - easily 20 knots on flat water.
