With the ever-increasing explosion of foiling into the sailing community Australian Sailing is working to develop programs and resources to support sailors and clubs to get involved in this new and exciting space. One of the first initiatives is the development of FOIL-LABs which are day long introductory sessions allowing participants to experience and learn about foiling. FOIL-LABs provide a safe space for sailors to learn and interact with a new type of sailing experience and equip themselves with new knowledge to take on foiling classes. Sailors will learn the fundamentals that drive a hydrofoils performance, as well learn about the body and physical relationships that offer a path to mastery. Mastering the basics gives more options to have more fun, more often. It also allows sailors to chase performance in a range of modern performance sailing classes in a fun and fulfilling way. Australian Sailing is pleased to be able to offer a number of Foil Labs across the country. Contact your Australian Sailing State General Manager to express interest and find out more!

Most production boats from 35 to 55 feet share a hidden construction secret: the structural grid. Instead of building piece-by-piece inside the boat, manufacturers build an internal "skeleton" separately, install the interior systems, and then drop the entire unit into the hull.How It’s MadeThe Hull: Builders lay up the hull using fiberglass or a wood-core sandwich.The Grid: An internal skeleton is built and fully outfitted before installation.The Bond: The grid is coated in methacrylate—an aerospace-grade structural glue.The Drop: The grid is lowered into the hull, creating a bond that holds the entire structure together.This efficient process allows for high-strength, long-lasting boats without the massive price tag of custom manufacturing. 📗 Get My Book https://bethecaptain.com #BoatBuilding #YachtDesign #MarineEngineering #HowItsMade #SailingLife #Fiberglass #BoatMaintenance #Maritime #ProductionBoats

With code0 and full mainsail in light winds boat speed almost reaches wind speed. Will try to do more test sail on different angles and sail setups to reach that wind speed :) New and more accurate electronics (B&G) installed on the boat. This should help to make better measurements in the future.
