Fila's mast was repaired, now full of carbon rowings, the upper part of the mast is stiffer, which is actually good, because the 11cm long mast crane tends to bend it in the upper third alot more than lower.
Anyway the luff curve was recut, and the A-rigg is ready for the race on saturday.

| 4g added |
Also managed to get a few good b-rigg sailing hours during the past few days
tried flaps on fila:
 |
| taken from Karo, but set at a smaller angle to wl |
 |
| only 5mm above the static wl, they drag when sailing up-wind, so the boat hops over the waves and doesn't cut through them like normal, will have to sail against other boats to se if it affects up-wind speed, but it definetly helps alot when running! clips follow |
F5g Evolution, the project set aside in 2013, i am looking forward to finishing it this autum:
 |
| the boat has a fixed keel, and two rudders one in front and one in the back, electronics are placed in the bow, for balanced sailing in the prevailing flat waters where f5g sailboats are usually sailed, and in order to experiment with different weight arrangements in the boat. |
