Very cool video thanks for posting. What kind of course were you running?
Wynyard leeward..
you can see upwind and downwind marker.
Sorry just saw your reply, yes it was a 3min countdown start sequence with 2 x Windward leewards with a gate at the bottom mark and a short reach to the finish. Going to experiment with a range of course including Slalom style
Looks awesome! Interesting to see so many choose not to wear helmets and impact vests (or pfd's) with how close you get on some of the crosses... i thought it would be mandatory for a race.
Great footage.
Would be interesting to see results lined up with the following information:
- Avg. windspeed
- Rider weight
- Wing (make, model, size)
- Front foil (make, model, size)
- Board (make, model, volume)
Curious to see if larger wings and smaller foils outperform smaller wings and medium sized foils. That being said, rider skill as well as race tactics play a large role in results.
For those interested here is some action from the latest Wingfoil race held at the Manly Sailing Club in New Zealand. :)
It was a fantastic afternoon of wingfoil racing at the Manly Sailing Club last weekend!
The competitors enjoyed a mix of windward/leeward racing and some reaching slalom races.
The new race bibs look great and worked very well for tracking results.
Racing is on this weekend on Sunday 27th November at the Manly Sailing Club and the forecast is looking fantastic!
Wind looks quite light, what's the race minimum? I need a 13+ knot gust for my gear.
