Definitively looks much better on the water now than in the yard that first day! Nice video. |

Yep! That's me. Hit over 10 mph - several times yesterday. Ron rode in a front for a little bit - he had a nice and wet ride. Still need to install the tramps and make a spray skirt. Having a few issues with very tight steering control but I think it is related to repairing the rudder. I have a new one, and will install and hope to improve steering issue.

For anyone that isn't up to sewing a sprayskirt themself, my wife Dee makes them: http://www.kayakingbob.com/sprayskirt-purchase On your tight steering, try not pulling the 'down' line as tight to see if that helps. |

Doing circles round the TI, eh Ron? That's not sporting. At least you did it with a Hobie sail though. Is that from a Wave or Getaway? |

NOHUHU, Must be the editing that made it look like I was circling...actually the Fulmar seems to be faster in 15 knts of wind...I'm a bit surprised given it's heavier 260 lbs and the Hobie Bravo sail is a little smaller than the TI...must be the very different hull shape of the Fulmar...If it only had a Mirage Drive!

You and Ron should put that pict in the photo contest. It's my favorite so far. |

Larry, think I will order one also. Reconlon, my tight steering is mostly due to the repairs I made to the top rudder eyelet. I took it apart and sanded it and I think it will be much improved. I have a new rudder assembly ready to go if this does not work. NOHUHU : I will add the Ron splash bath to the mix. |
