Love the mods you do to make your boat go just a little bit better all the time. A while back, I asked you about cleaning up the keel shape on my FP cat. I'm happy to report that after extending the keels 38cm in order to make the trailing edge about 6mm, and extending the leading edge about 4cm in order carve it into a parabolic-ish curve, and replacing my rudders with a set of custom jefa rudders that are outremer 51 blades on an FP stock, amazing gains were made. Much, much less autopilot activity. Easier to get my sail trim right as the boat tracks better. And now I'm happy to tack upwind simply because I can. Not bad for a Condomaran. Thanks for the inspiration!
Merry Christmas to the Paikia crew. I plan to share mods we are making to Swift in the new year. Thank you for sharing.
Merry Christmas Dana! Can't wait t see your upgrades to Swift.
