    Hey Mr Wylieguy I have some questions regarding reefing a wishboom rigged mast. I'm gonna give you a ring.

    French boat did a stability test. They couldn't get it to turtle. And he only used 20 lbs of lead in the centerboard. Although he said he is adding another 50 lbs.

    A while back I was talking with Bedard about how I wanted to be able to remove the rig for some rowboat adventures. I wondered how it would row if i pulled out the centerboard and he suggested I make a simple skeg or foil for rowboat mode. So I've started on that.

    But first, the top of the row boat adventure bucket list: The Missouri Breaks.

    I think the RoG would be a comfortable platform to do all 149 miles in the Monument.

    I suspect the filmmakers went to great lengths to make it appear they were the only ones on the river. I see plenty of outfitters offering guided multi day trips, canoe rentals, shuttles etc. Mid season looks like it's quite crowded. But still, is that not some spectacular country?

    My first time shaping a foil. The others were CNC cut.

    It'll need something to hold it down. Bedard suggested a puck of lead so she'd bounce over a sandbar. I'm thinking some bungee line maybe.

    I figured the cut off part of the centerboard (replaced with lead) would make a good lower draft, longer chord rowboat foil.

    I guess I'll have to build some sort of foil caddy on the trailer.

    Tchoup, I’ve been enjoying seeing your progress. Thank you for posting. I’m curious about the foils, a subject I know very little about. Have you read anything about how to shape the trailing edges and the problem of vortex induced oscillations?

    That is a great video, I really enjoyed it. Thank you. You are really a fine wood worker, thanks for sharing that, too. What will be your first on the water adventure? I'd like to see THAT video.
