I have had the boat for this summer season, but the other day was my first ride at speed. VERY exciting. My crew was extatic. More later. Arthur Topilow |

Post subject: | first season with Trifoiler |
This was first summer for my boat as well. I have sailed a Hobie 18M for 15 years. I sailed the Trifoiler several times in low winds just to learn the idiosynchrsies of sailing in displacement mode with foils up/down and to master launching/beaching without breaking anything or snagging any of the beach crowd on a foil. I have had several really great foiling sessions and had pasengers (including my 80 year old dad) out 4 times on foils. Right after getting on foils, the hoots and yelps from the backseat are amazing.. although often interlaced with unprintable stuff as well! Hmm, I need to archive some audio recordings of first time coments. The grins don't wear off the passengers faces for quite some time. |
