Shorts Skapa
The Impulse 1100 freeride foil is designed for first-timers and experienced flyers, both with the sail and the wing. Its 1100 cm2 carbon front wing allows it to take off at a lower speed and with little wind, making the whole experience much easier for beginners. Advanced users can practice their carve moves and enjoy the flight sensation on the mellowest of days. Incorporated tail angle adjustment system needs no spacers. The tail angle can be adjusted on the beach or even in the water. Impulse 110 foil components are assembled with 8mm countersunk hex-head stainless screws. All are super strong and resist both mechanical damage and corrosion. All Loftsails foil sets can be customized with a wide range of interchangeable front wings, fuselages, tail wings and foil masts for a tailored, fine-tuned experience.
Squall lines can quickly triple the amount of wind you’re dealing with and have the potential to do damage if you’re caught unprepared. Once the squall hits, preparation is over and it’s up to reactive seamanship skills. While your strategy should depend on many factors (your boat, sea conditions, proximity to land, etc.) here are a few things that are helpful in most circumstances: 1. Reduce sail area early. Considering dropping sails entirely depending on conditions. 2. Ensure the crew puts on proper gear such as Lifejackets, Foul weather jackets, tethers, etc. 3. Take note of where you are & where you were sailing to. Be aware of any nearby shoals or reefs. 4. Prepare for poor visibility. Turn on running lights, monitor VHF ch16, have an airhorn accessible, etc. What else would you add to this list?
