-4

Few days left for the championship in Campione. I heard of some boats coming even  from Sweden. Luca Rizotti, Francesco Bianchi, Marco Lanulfi ,and me were sailing last sunday.
I  tried  the system in the picture. It allows an on-foil tuning of the height of the boat above the water surface. I had the piece thanks to Michi from Germany: we decided to do something like this after reading Scott's blog during the worlds. 
I made it work quite well in the afternoon. Basically I looked  for more height upwind, and for a safer condition downwind through the chops.Good if it works for the race. Now I just have to pay attention to the real sailing than to this game: after nearly one month of stop my boat handling was suffering.

Hi Chicco,
I saw your on the fly, height adjustment picture, I was looking at doing something similar to my boat for the Dubai World Championships next March. But over here it is very hard to get these parts. Do you have Michi's email address, so that I can ask him if he could sell me one and then send it here?
Thanks
Marcel

Hi Chicco,

Nice blog. I have got the same question as Marcel, as I'm interested to get the height control on the bladerider. Do you know if Michi's is selling those and can I get his adress?
Best regards,
Eelco Boers
