The correct operation of a foil is complex; many parameters come into play: the rider\u2019s size and sailing style, the equipment used (type of board and rig), sailing conditions,\u00a0 etc\u2026 Each of these parameters generates variable forces.
The combination of all these forces is likely to upset the stability of the foil\u2019s balance.<\/p>\n
Also, in some cases and in certain configurations, an adjustment is necessary to re-establish balance and fine-tune the stability of your flight.
Here are a few tips and basic principles that will help you personalize your settings to take full advantage of all the Goliath\u2019s qualities and further enhance your performance.<\/p>\n

It pushes in the rear of the foil on take-off, and it is simply the placement of the rider\u2019s center of gravity and the sail\u2019s center of thrust that will more or less reduce the offset effect.
As soon as the rider\u2019s center of gravity and sail thrust exceed the center of thrust of the foil\u2019s front wing, the rider has the option of constraining the stabilizer offset to fly balanced and stabilized.
Without a stabilizer, we would never have the sensation of having to push on the front leg<\/p>\n
2 \u2013 Move the rig back to shift the center of gravity aft.
3 \u2013 Tilt the stabilizer with a positive shim. (Caution: while the positive incidence of the horizontal stabilizer increases its lift power, it also generates more drag, to the detriment of speed).
4 \u2013 Fit a larger stabilizer (i.e., one with more lift) to generate the right balance (this option keeps the basic incidence of the stabilizer\/+0.5\u00b0\u2026 the ideal setting for not altering speed potential).
5 \u2013 Fit a larger front wing.<\/p>\n
2 \u2013 Move the rig forward to shift the center of gravity forward.
3 \u2013 Fit a smaller stabilizer (less weight-bearing).
4 \u2013 Fit a smaller front wing.<\/p>\n
