Great vid. These guys make it look so easy....
-
first of all great sailing weather :p
second, i would like to see how the get such a boat back normal when it tipled over :p
-
Where does the roll stability come from? Amazing balance? The bow wand explains the fore/ aft pitch control, but how does he keep it from tipping over more often?
-
Wow. Great job with the video.
-
The self adjusting mechanism you just described for the hydrofoil; in short, could also be called an auto trim system...
Small aircraft also have them .. Cesnas and pipers.. I fly them..
just sharing the knowledge..

the stick hanging off the front is called a bow wand. it senses the height of the water under the bow and then as it gets pushed up with each wave, it pushes and pulls little levers and such inside the hull and that connects the the hydrofoil on centreboard to keep the boat stable.

otherwise, the hydrofoil on the centreboard would stay at the same depth and the boat would be jockeying up and down with each and every little ripple in the water. the adjustments made are tiny. the hydrofoil on the rudder is adjusted by twisting the tiller extension. but its more of a fine tuning mechanism. hope i helped!
