At this stage of tide, seaweed is a problem. We had to stop and clear large quantities from the foil during the test. The boat displayed substantial tendency towards lee helm. Port side J-foil was riding low on port tack and its response seemed a bit erratic. Check helm foot controls. Check shock on port side.
Notes: Sliding traveler did not seem to make any difference in boat performance. Moving the kite attachment point forward resulted in increased bar pressure. Crane launch worked well. Kite launch is slightly awkward due to breakwater but still do-able in reasonable conditions.
