G4 Foil Stress Test @Holland Composites
The G4 is being sent to St Marteen to arrive March 26. The big question mark of this milestone boat for the industry will be its foils and a safe ride.

Comments by PJ: “At Holland Composites BV we did this bend test on the G4 big lifting foil. 4600 kgf is a lot on a tip of a board I can tell you. Pretty scary to load it up like this , but no sign of any problem at all!
Looking forward to the first sea trials of the G4 in two weeks!”

...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.

Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
