Garage Works - 3/19/2025

This was yesterday in the garage.

First up was getting the footstrap installed on No.40

This one is only on the starboard side and really only used for landing at WPB.  When I round up at the end where I want to land, I can use my right foot in the strap to keep the foil elevated when in shallow water.


Ready for testing.


And this was after the session at PV.

Dennis said he lost his foil board at the S turn and it messed up his foils.

He also said the Spitfire 900 wouldn't turn for him.


With both those issues, I said go smaller on the rear stabilizer.


And in a case like this, it is actually easier to grind the stab down to a new shape rather than try to rebuild it to where it was.

I'll trim it up today.
