Title: tigulio plancetta
Post by: malliadan on February 27, 2010, 19:28:47 CET
is there somebody who has it? it has some drag maybe any idea how to reduce drag?

i was thinking of removing the inflatable part and filling it with expanding foam and seal it permanently, cause i think that the problem is that it fills up with water

Same problem mate.
I take it only in summer (ghax bilfors) due to boat traffic, during winter I use the sausage style.
The velcro closue surely opposes the direction of movoment. The designer was not so genious.
But it was not so expensive like other brands.

Guys, is the extra carrying ability worth the extra drag?  I know that the more you load it the more drag you'll get but is it worth?
My parts also has serious problems of careless boat traffic and also I have a big sausage buoy + flag I still had instances where I was almost run over!

guys I solved the above problem by putting two sausges (those that kids use to swim that are put between the legs) underneath the plancetta attached with the velcro straps.
Now its like a catamaran, and made a wonderful difference as regrds drag...
