K2 Test – Sep 12
Return to NewsAfter the successful tow tests this morning, we took the boat out again for a test with the 18 sqm red kite. Boat performance was good, and we hit a top speed of 30 knots off Alameda Point. The T-foil position was set so it was slightly biased toward more positive angles of attack, so tomorrow we will move its attachment point to shift the angle of attack range to a better position. Jerry Shalhoob, Earle Alldredge, and Nico Rousselon joined us again for this test.
