los de Sailing Anarchy han hablado con Thompson por teléfono para intentar aclarar el misterio del foil de recambio.

aquí la transcripción:

"

VG: Do you have a spare foil?
AT: “It's an interesting question. One of the benefits of going for the design that we went for is that you have the ability to be able to push out what was there, and we'd be the only boat in the fleet that could put a foil in through the deck. It was certainly part of our consideration when we chose to go for this foil.

VG: Do you have a spare foil onboard?
AT: “One of the major problems with these foils is that they're very heavy. They're north of 100kgs each so the reality of being able to put another one in – getting it up on deck, and jiggling around with it – is that it would be very, very difficult. It's not an easy thing to try to do – I guess you'd have to have perfect conditions for it.

VG: Do you have a spare foil onboard?
AT: “Do I have a spare foil onboard? That would be telling, wouldn't it.”

VG: Do you have a spare foil onboard?
AT: “No comment.”
