Ça peaufine, ça test et ça retest le dériveur à foil, voilier nouvelle génération de chez Gerys. Depuis mon dernier essai on voit bien que les optimisations et mises au point sont rondement menées. Et j’ai cru comprendre dans toutes les conditions de vent et de mer. Le duo complémentaire, Erwan et Raphaël Censier fonds des merveilles. Je suis convaincu que c’est déjà un bateau fiable, facile et très performant. Juste pour le plaisir. Encore bravo 🙏
The Leeward foil is very tolerant to the rough sea. This is the windward foil that loses lift when the sea is too difficult. You can see this situation in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BtjmVf3TN3k.html&ab_channel=GERYS At 3:00min when we cross the wake of a motorboat
The stability looks very impressive. I wonder what happens if curious sailors try to sail with one foil up and one foil down (i.e. take the stabiliser wheels off a bicycle). Does the configuration of foil deployment mechanisms even allow such an experiment, or would damage to a single foil when at sea require the vessel to be sailed only in displacement mode to an appropriate recovery location?
We did some experiments with the windward foil in the up position. We were able to fly, but we would need more experience in the boat to have performance gain compared to the 3-foil configuration. There is no structural concern about the 2-foils configuration.
@@raphaelcensier3943 Great that you already have the curiosity. Looks like a great vessel to develop skills with. Perhaps an analog junior AC-40 class.
