I’ve seen the small single person sailboats with a hydrofoil. But it is only recently that I’ve noticed surfboards, whether sail, or kite, with a hydrofoil. The reduction in friction means that these things can reach sixty miles an hour. It’s amazing to see. I’m not tempted to indulge though.
Up until about an hour ago, it has absolutely chucked it down. We haven’t left the house, except to put food on the bird table and rubbish in the bin. Just pottered about really. I should have spent time getting my radio shack sorted, but I’ve been having a bit of a mare installing Big Sur – got it done eventually, but it wasn’t straight forward. In a way the problem lay with me choosing too low a spec machine.
