Default 50 MPH sailing this weekend

I wonder if the control sensors for the foil were set up with properly.
This is one of the keys to getting a foil craft to work... it either
needs to have full range inherent stability, which adds drag, or have a
control system that responds proportionally to changes in pitch & heel.
The system used by the Hobie was worked out by a fellow named Ketterman.


i went to say if it were a 2 foot swell it would not be a problem.

Next logical step will be computer controlled foils IMO.
