I actually measured off a Velociraptor and then dropped them slightly further. I can measure them off the deck height and let you know next time I am sailing. Thanks for the nice comments! Hi Nick,

This was just to stop the boat trying to foil at speed. The main reason was not so much the wind but the big seas. Because I haven't got enough skill to foil in those conditions I thought it best to disengage. You can control the pitch further by sitting further back on the wing bar. (I was right at the back to stop any nosediving!) Hi Kirk,

Or do you tweak the rudder foil also? Kirk Is disconnecting the flap all you need to do to ensure lowriding in too much wind? Or do you tweak the rudder foil also?
