In the mean time, I am looking for a set of racing foils! My foils have been scratched badly over their time in use, and are no longer in a good racing condition, so if anyone knows of any bladerider foils for sale, then please let me know.
But that isnt the only problem I have at the moment, my deck is cracked about a foot long, my gantry bolt was one of the not stainless steel ones and my rear wingbar attachment to the deck is cracked! But i strongly belive it wasn;t because of my way of sailing or treating the boat, but rather the previous owner and the sun combined :(
So I predict a trip to premier composites, to fix all that and whilst im there I will get my trailer strengthened too.
A pity that you did not make it.
ReplyDeleteGood idea with the trailer to be strengthened. Damaged my bow (due to compressions) when the boat jumped out of the back of the trailer (strong wind in Horsens and an already very weakend U on the trailer)) It dented the bow because it was tied down on the bow, the back shock cord seemed to have uncleated. Horrible but repairable. X8 BR´s are strong. The wire or rope in the back, holding the wing bars needs to be as tied as possible (when rigg tension is on max) but i am sure you know this.
smooth sailing.
