I would love to get involved with making a t foil for the 14's. Primarily I make custom carbon parts for big boats of all types. I recently just bought an OD...
All, We make these and they seem to be good - it is the nature of the beast that they are subjected to tremendous dynamic loads and so can fail from time to ...
I went through the numbers a while ago, and it's very easy to come up with cases where the foils are generating 200+ lb of lift...... Ted ... I went through...

Hi folks, I just did a quick and dirty analysis using some questionable foil analysis software: Using a symmetrical 65012 section with the max area allowable...
My axle broke upwind. The time of failure is probably not that interesting...its the amount of downwind shock loading it saw up till that time. Sooner or...
the older axles were 10mm across the flat - the Aus ones that were failing (in fatigue, most likely) were 6mm - our newer Aus axle is 8mm - all Ti - unknown...
This may well be the case, and what we had mentioned was the order of the day a couple of years ago, when most people were still guessing at these numbers. ...
Ours ripped off downwind in about 18 knots of breeze, some chop. This was a brand new fixed foil (British forward wing design/Sickle style). First time on the...
I'd guess that very few of the failures are due to the bulk strength (or lack thereof) of the wing sections. Per Paul's and Pete's emails, it seems like all of...
