Another video of Paradox starting to properly exploit new stable foiling setups. Stability is heavily influenced by the relative lift contribution of rudder winglets and main foils. We now set up the rudders to provide some upward lift when the boat is at neutral trim. If driving force from the sail increases, causing the bow...Read More

A short video from a recent testing session. Our understanding of the settings necessary for sustained stable foilborne sailing is steadily improving. It is worth re-iterating the definition of stable flight with reference to the feedback loop that arises when external forces upset pitch angle and ride height. A stable setup settles on an attitude...Read More
