Some moth activity this weekend even if I did not get sailing.

Eric has committed to buying Chainsaw. He had a test sail late last season but has had a busy winter, he finally decided he needed a moth for the summer. He will sail out of Balmoral in Sydney.

I spent a few hours yesterday afternoon with Tiger on a Chain checking foil angles and wand settings. Luka was there to assist with knowledge gained from Garda and helped me make a few adjustments which should improve take off and height control.

We improved the fit in the case and restored the angle of attack back to a few degrees positive. I also found some slipage in the wand pushrod and reglued one loose joint. This will mean the wand flap response will be much more positive and more reliable.

Looking forward to a sail of the boat on the weekend after next, as next week will be the last weekend away from sailing for the next 8 months, and a rare chance to do something different away from the water.
