Crutch Down
Nailing the exact times when someone is doing it is tricky. I welcome any improvements. Here is the criteria for it to be registered:
- SOG between 11 and 24kph
- LW RH < 200 (otherwise it can be board drop in maneuver while foiling)
- Angle to the wind between 40 and 130
- board goes down
Succesful ones
Below are only the ones that resulted in heel higher than 8 degrees. Otherwise USA had the most of board drops, probably due to cycling. Our SOG at drop is on the lower side of the fleet. USA and GER use the most WW board rake to lift the hull. Others are more conservative there. Interesting to see DEN dropping board with 0 cant target, while almost everyone is max under.
All board drops on WW side
USA by far the most times doing it. Only the ones at sog > 11.1kph are listed.
Lifting the board
Registered when:
- board goes up
- SOG is higher than 15kph
- Heel > 5 degrees
- No Foiling
- Angle 40-130
USA low WW board rake before lifting the board. Also lifting on the low heel side.
Race 1
1st Downwind
Filtered so only straight lines are in to check setups.
Not so much differences. USA had clew a bit more in and twist on the lower side. Rudder avg also on the lower side, but some others have the same. GER moving the clew the most, USA 2nd after them.
Aus did a full board cycle behind ESP after the first gybe. They stopped in gas and tried it to get going. Ended up high, and a bit faster. Not sure if any help. Happened at 6kph SOG. 16:14:30
