OFF THE NEW SOUTH WALES COAST: 26th December 2016
Michael Rummel reports from CQS that there has been further deterioration in the state of the DSS board. Calling by sat phone from the boat off the south coast of New South Wales, he said that the wing tips have come off on both sides of the boat, and the flaps on the trailing edge have also broken off.
Commenting on the situation he said that the boat speed had already slowed following the initial deterioration and that the present foil state will have very little effect on the speed of the boat, “this is what happens when you innovate”, he commented.
