Oh I'm not worried. I'm sure I can fix it if I torque it off somehow, and John's record for robust foils seems rather better than most everyone else. Do you...
Ok - for some reason this was stuck in the spam/to be approved area in the group - hence the delay. John definitely has the most experience building these...
I could not send the pics of the broken foil as they were too big but I have posted them on the photos section of the group site... cheers Nige IO Integration,...
Interesting pics Nige !!! I'll be curious to see how mine will break. 23 knots ... Damn ... That's quick. I wonder at what speed the pink machine will...
your guess is as good as mine from those pics! John is on this list so maybe he can comment.... I still have the foil in two bits... waiting for the rest of a...
OK, the photos section of WHAT group site? I don't see them at this group site, and they're not on the UK website. I can't find them on the UK yahoogroup site...
Haven't heard much about the M4 for about nine months, though P&B is making sails for the Weymothies now. The 18 has been getting some attention. The question...

Posted some pics of Bill's plan coming together. Parts are out. On target for 9kg joined. Not a bad way to spend a couple of days off. See Hungry Beaver album....
Hi all, My desire to talk about the boats has finally overcome my nervousness of internet postings. I plan on having the Prowler out again this W/E - weather...
and the cost from the new US int moth builder is?!?!? ;) IO Integration, Inc Please Note Our New Address: 20480 Pacifica Drive Suite C Cupertino, CA, 95014 t...
Nice Gui! the pink boat in the background is looking jealous.... are those the foils you used on the skippy? IO Integration, Inc Please Note Our New Address: ...
... Not too jealous anymore ... I somehow manged to melt the bow ... rebuild it to have it stuck in the mold ... destroy it a second time ... The next plan is...
... Hi Nige, I hesitate to dawn the veil of "the new US Int Moth builder" as I'm pretty much doing this for myself and haven't given serious thought to...
Hey Bill, Yeah I was kind of joking - but it is interesting to hear what your costs have been. Just going through all the possibilities of how I can get...
I had my last wandless sailing yesterday. Wind gust in the high teens. Big time crashing up and down hill. The main foil had a small argument with a rock too,...
I just read on an Aus forum there have been problems with GPSs failing on Moths. I put a Garmin201 on the wing bar and it failed on about 3rd sail. - I thought...
Hi there, The problem seems to be the water pressure when you crash. I had the same with my Garmin, and no probs since wearing it on my wrist. I guess you...
A friend of mine suggested to use the rudder to control the height rather than the main foil ... I know the flying 14 is set up that way, but a lot of the...
In what way are you thinking? Just in terms of angle of attack of the boat/foil? How would this be different to the normal rudder foil control? ... From:...
I'm thinking about linking the wand to the rudder ... and tape my flap. So instead of twiking the lift of the main foil with the flap, you twick the pitch of...
So what would that give you - Less drag as with only one moving foil? do you think the boat react fast enough? On Jan 24, 2007, at 12:43 PM, Guillaume V wrote:...
... Yes ... Well ... That's the tricky one. I don't know. What do you think? The bigger problem is the amount of pitch needed to keep the foils in the water. ...
What are you allowed inbetween the wand and the lifting foil? Damper? computer control system? just wondering ... Yes ... Well ... That's the tricky one. I...
