This is the launching area a DOSC, Dubai Offshore Sailing Club, today was registration day, a few boats went out sailing practice races with winds at 300/10. The weather is perfect. We did quite a bit of shape trials, Idefix VI has two sails, one very flat and one more full. Busy trying to get it right. Two days ago during the first sail trial in Dubai Idefix VI lost her newly made rudder foil. Some how a screw got loose and the foil got lost in the Arabian Gulf. Possibly it is floating arround it could have also thank. It was possible to replace it with the first foil but quite a lot of work had to be done. The foil is now laminated to the rudder blade and that should hold it tight.
