Cynical, curmudgeonly old engineer. Happily married and proud father to two fine young men. Unix and Matlab geek. Keen cyclist, modeller and book worm. Basically an inquisitive idiot & just wish everyone would treat others with compassion & understanding.

BluebirdK7 userid showing they simply blocked me because I dared to point out to them that they didn't get K7 on full plane on Coniston. Poor fragile ego can't accept facts, if it had been on full plane they would have printed the photo but I can only assume that they don't hence me getting blocked.
Photograph of Bluebird K7 record breaking Bluebird on Bute run by BBP showing the craft in full planing mode. It is in full hydrodynamic planing with clear cushion of air beneath the hull and sponsons, just the planing wedges in the water. Absolutely glorious. Unfortunately the recent runs on Coniston only appear to achieve transition phase despite the organisers claiming full planing run was achieved. Very impressive they were damn close but I haven't seen any evidence of full planing mode achieved, probably 90% there but not 100% but it's the last 10% that makes all the difference unfortunately. If they want to claim a successful full plane run then they need to provide a photograph like this otherwise they are just gaslighting you.
