The wand controls the main foil angle of attack. A higher angle of attack lifts the boat out of the water.

When the wand is angled more to the stern of the boat, it causes an increased angle of attack on the main foil, and the boat will lift out of the water.

Conversely, when the wand is angled more to the front of the boat, it causes an lessened angle of attack on the main foil, and the boat will lower towards the water.

Setting the wand length will determine how far the hulls will rise above the water.

As you begin to learn to foil, a shorter wand length below the spar will keep the hulls closer to the water. having the hulls only raise 6-12 inches out of the water when first foiling is a good way to learn to balance the boat without sudden dunkings.

With more confidence in your balance, lengthen the wand length below the spar to increase hull height above the water.

There is no right setting - only what you are comfortable with. Use the table below as a guide.

Note: The boat needs the lift from the foil system for breezy conditions (ie: downwind) to sail properly.
