Foil Envy
With not much on on Saturday I lobbed down to St George to watch their club racing. A good fleet of 5 or 6 foilers were heading out in a good but fading Southerly.
After watching them go at it for an hour or so, I’m itching to get back on the foiler. My next boat is still a way off, so I’m going to have to get Nige’s Bladerider back in action to get my fix every now and then.
The speed of the new Gilmour/Fastacraft foilers was a bit of a surprise, with Dave Lister taking down National runner-up Luka in one of their early-season races. The fleet down there is going to be close when Donosan gets his new boat on the water as well. Robo and Matt are taking their boats there next weekend to blow away the cobwebs. It’s all happening.
