So I got my new starboard E 1300 late last week, after making a few changes and a spacer to fit to my Super cruiser fues I took it for a blast on Sunday. Wind was 17 to 20 gusting up to 22 from the SE on Sydney harbour. Started off with the razr 250 tail set at neutral. In hindsight I was over rigged (7.2) first outing was a little sketchy, not enough lift on the on the tail stabiliser and very loose on directional stability. The razr250 is very flat, very thin and very small.
After 20 minutes of sailing I came in and changed to the standard SC 370 tail to see if I could get grip on the E 1300. The bigger tail made a huge difference! very easy to sail and stable but much slower. The wind kicked in so I headed in and changed down to a 5.7, way more comfortable and lots of fun to be able to surf small swell and chop. Its only early days but this foil has loads of lift and is awesome in the turns.
