In addtion to Arno’s Flying Carpet presentation, there is lots going on on the A.

The Exploder yard is also with the F18 OP  hull, routed model was painted this Monday,  now sitting on  the final female molds, plus some interesting devels coming for the A slider and next gen 18′ & 20′ foilers.

Major news for me this weekend was having Hervé Ledue, 2013 French Champ going for the foiling mode (pic left), great attitude from Hervé. ,Way to go!  
If you have the chance just try it, then you can go sail or race the A-Classic again.. but give yourself a chance to fly, you wont regret it , trust me.
