Luka u and Dave just stik to ur guns. Those harbour dudes are just jealous that stgeorge are the fastest men in moths. Ps go dragons!!!
fer cryin out loud will some one just post pics of:
- “the dial”
- the lister lever
- the rudder foil variances
Inquiring minds want to know… or all you bridge vs harbour boys and girls in a pissing contest in case someone patents something? Why else be vuisually opaque about it?
I think everyone got the message about the multi d aspect: great sailing skills/ great moth handling/great build-tweak skills etc, and the gorge reminded every one about the need to handle shifts not just starts and laylines.
Hey rrb, not sure about “dial” but u can find the L-Lever here: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=308jk34&s=3
for the record i rekon its the harbour dudes causing the grief.
Thanks for the L-lever link.
gee, coffee mug, or bumper sticker…. naah the dog warmer..
Re-listened to the moth cast, and realized the “Dial” is posted here:

Bruce has a main foil history http://www.teknologika.com/mothblog/the-evolution-of-moth-main-hydrofoils/
The rudder size comparison thing still eludes me. Interesting item : in that lister video of foiling tacks he throws his weight around at about three minutes – 2/3 in, and basically shakes the (small?) rudder foil into cavitation – it breaks the surface – and he continues on unscathed. Makes the rudder foil/ main foil wash concerns seem almost irrelevant. Focus of rudder and rudder foil is a yaw and pitch control function, not lift… so stay forward let main foil do the heavy lifting would seem to be conclusion?.
