About the foil needing to be straight and flat, CDI says that putting it on
the forestay will take care of that if it isn't quite straight. That said, I
found that in spite of CDI's suggestion that you need several people around to
help straighten and reverse coil it, I found that after it was uncoiled for
ten or fifteen minutes it lay straight and flat (no reverse coiling needed) on
the floor, where it still is, waiting for some warm(er) weather. Still have
to figure out how to get it into (or onto) the car for the trip to the boat
....
CDI's warranty is for six years, and covers only hazards at sea (including
unseamanlike use and dismastings), but not any abuse of the foil when off the
boat, when it must be stored straight and flat at all times. Any kinks or
bends that the owner puts in (such as by driving a truck over it) I think are
the
owner's problem.
