Hi PrfctChaos,
I'll be attempting to 3D print a front wing and then laminate it with fibreglass/epoxy. I've read the whole topic and I've done tons of other research over the past 2 days. (two days ago I've had literally zero idea about any of this but I'm making good progress, I'm really trying to understand the physics of the hydrofoil)
My question is if you could help me chose the profile assuming that:
- I want to ride the foil in marginally low wind for my Naish Boxer 10m which would probably be at around 8-12 knots (I'm talking wind speed)
- I'm around 85kg without the gear
- Saltwater use (also gets quite choppy, but obviously on calmer days it's not as bad)
The reason I'm not giving you the riding speed, chord and span is because I have no idea what would be optimal for these conditions. I guess something around 75cm span? But maybe you can propose something else. From what I noticed the light wind foils aspect ratio is on the lower side, this would also probably help with the stiffness of the wing (which I'm a bit worried about given manufacturing method).
I'd appreciate some help!
PS I just noticed you're the same person I messaged on the Seabreeze with that
