Kiteboat Project

We took K2 out this evening for a tow test. We towed the boat in circles in the protected area by the big ships, and stopped every so often to adjust the foils and tow again. We are playing with different pivot point locations. After towing, we also briefly tried the boat with a kite, making a few more adjustments. The wind was very light, so we did not foil while using the kite.
