    Lake Ontario? Never sailed in my life. Possible for me to successfully foil this boat with practice? Good job by the way. Probably the least expensive way to get into foiling.

      Probably not the best boat to learn to sail on BUT others have done so. One advantage is that foiling a UFO is 'counter-intuitive' to long time sailors except to windsurfers. Heeling to windward "just ain't right" to us older sailors. LOL So if you "don't know better" (don't have that learned muscle memory), you may be at an advantage. Curious what others think.

      I got my UFO mid- to late-season 2021 and have been a lifelong sailor of monohulls and catamarans. Sailing it in displacement mode (non foiling) took no time at all. First time out was fine. As I raised the training wheels (wand height controls how high off the water you fly) I had more capsizes, submarining, and mishaps than flights.... just like in this video. I did get it foiling, but it was NOT easy for me and I couldn't maintain flight for any length of time. We have mostly gusts and puffs here and it was really hard to stay aloft. Season 2 (l2022) was SO much better! If there was sufficient wind, I was foiling. Still really have troubles with the gusts but the exhilaration of foiling is addicting. Over the off season I watched lots of UFO videos, read the "Unofficial UFO Users Guide" a lot, and best of all.... a second UFO arrived at the boatyard. With 2 of them, we could compare notes experiencing exactly the same wind/wave conditions and help each other out with tips and tricks. For a reference point, I turn 71 in February 2023 and got my boat at age 69.

      @@larryowens7023 Good information Larry. Do you think the UFO would be good for lake sailors? My friend who just turned 81 years old sails an MC Scow and wins many races. He suggested I get an MC Scow.. Which do you think would be better for me? I am 68, average condition, and a below average sailor.

    The problem with foiling... once we get it - "no one to share it with". But I still loved it. (A-cat) but I ordered this boat today.

    Legendary! Regarding windward heel beyond the desired amount: essentially keep at it and the picture will get clearer. Very likely it's a nuance thing in sheeting. View it as oscillation around an optimal sheeting point. Early on, as your perception of the relationship between roll to whether and mainsheet is developing, the degree of corrections is very high. This would be why you're putting a lot of energy into sheeting, when at the high skill end, it tends to be high frequency but low load work. Early on though, you find yourself sawing back and forth around your required sheeting point (oscillating). We all start off overcorrecting one way and then the other. Sheeting in really hard but too late to correct roll to weather will have an initial corrective effect but usually have two effects. 1. You end up with the mainsail unable to trim further, so if you're still toppling, it's over. 2. You've oversheeted the mainsail which means that once the initial effect of the "wingbeat" pumping action is over, you're rolling over to windward even more. If you are going downwind, correct up to a reach. If you are going upwind, correct down to a reach. The answer to a stall is more flow. Or stop and restart. Take a look at this in-boat video from Otto. He's not pumping so much as continuously cycling through sheeting angles to keep optimizing the sheet angle. It becomes a lot less about power and a lot more about prediction. ruclips.net/video/meg-UqBsS68/видео.html To that end, you've got the ball rolling in a big way already--> you're looking for the puffs! On a foiler, puffs can't happen to you. You need to happen to THEM. Keep it up! This is awesome!

    1) In your Sheet Bend, you've got the ends on opposite sides of the knot. The fancy expert sites I've seen that test knots til they fail show that the other way - with both ends on the same side - is stronger (IIRC). 2) You show 3 bowlines: the initially loosely tied one, the one tied in the full screen, and the one tied in the little PIP inset screen. The latter two are classic bowlines, with the end sticking inside the loop, but the first one is the Dutch Navy variant with the end outside the loop. The strength testing sites I've seen say it doesn't matter, so I consider them interchangeable, but some examiners probably don't.
