More concrete infos. On the 15 hours of sailing, they fly only two (low wind condition). This exlpain the result probably ... by the way two nice picture form Loris von Siebenthal (one upwind, one downwind) during the 2 hours ;)

be ready to be smashed around by normal 18's in July, way more than a li'l 7mtr sportsboat and some leadbellies at L Leman
==============

Think so ,huh?

Post 108:

"- Downwind we started with the same low wind conditions and I got the feeling that we came back on Thomas (but we were not closed together, so it is difficult to say). Then the wind increase a little bit (we were about 8-9 knots under kite) and Thomas took off and then "bye bye" ... nearly 1.5 to 2 times faster than me !

You should put the rest of the sentence Doug ... I said that when the wind increase and we reached 15 knots, I have the feeling to come back on him ... so wait and see

Just like a well-seasoned fluffer in the porn trade celebrated the heft of John Holmes.

You are far to humble.

A tip of the hat and a well played to you sir!

And Doug Lord celebrates his own achievements as the great "foiler" that he is every night in his mum's oh so dark and lonely basement....

And a toast from us all to The Legendary BOZ...

I'm not involved in this project, but I honnestly think it is an interesting development, this is why I'm talking about it.

Now, IMO, Doug is not helping at all ... he just makes people nervous and polluting topics with always the same pictures/formula/references ... not sure this is the best way to convince poeple to go for foil, neither to celebrate the success of the one who are really making the thing moving forward

You going to back off Doug (I doubt it)? How about letting those that are actually out there doing it report on their own work? I've read their posts and they are all quite capable of putting the words together.

Maybe we all have it totally wrong.

Maybe DL has come up with some old fashioned tub build with scrap meterials from some derelict Cocoa LOCO powerboat builder (i.e lots of chop strand for a heavyweight build) that he is hoping to sell thousands of. Now in a little glimmer of brilliance he is seeing that some of the modern stuff (fast planing offshore boats, sportboats, foiling moth's and so on) is gaining momentum and would render his DL FatTUBTM idea DOA. In order to try to stem the tide he is fanatically trying to make everything new looking like harebrained ideas that nobody in their right mind would spend money on - especially since he thinks he can make it look like HE the Lord Bonesmoke is heavily involved in all of them.

Now if we were all gullible his plan might work and we will all be sailing his FatTUBTM's in a few years........................really
