Hi Wayne.

It just pushes through by hand. It is such a long case and it only takes a little load to make it difficult to slide.

Plus it is buoyant so the boat would have to be lifted out of the water before it would fall out.

I have capsized with it and it rose up in the case.

It could be different if it was a vacuum infused solid carbon foil. They sink when they fall off your boat.

Cant see how you control the lateral position of the foil?
Im assuming it slides out to leeward on each tack?
How and what secures it in place?
