95 Sonic, 5.8 KA Koncept -> 4.5 Combat, 28cm Lessacher Duo Weed fin -> 22cm Select Weed

Was completely overpowered to start with. Fisrt time ever I have gone completely upside down during a catapult. Changed down fin - still overpowered. Changed down sail and was a little underpowered at times. Would have been nice to use a 5.0 KA Koncept (hint hint Red). Was real cold but lots of fun.

Wow! Epic day at the Pit. Arrived to find the water looking very "angry" and decided to go small. I rigged the 5.0 (never used) then had another look at the water. Decided to go silly and  unwrap the 08 4.4 KA koncept that hasn't been out of the bag in 2 years. I took the bubble wrap off the mast and put it all together. I Grabbed the Missiles and the 21 Assy Ka fin(also never used). As all the small gear was out for the first time I took the old faithful missile "s" so things werent too different. Did consistant 46 peaks and decided I had hit the top end of the Missile "s" speed. Went back and grabbed the Missile "xs" and instantly put on 2.5 knots. As I became more used to the gear the speeds got faster and faster.  The 3rd run showing 49.48 on the dail. Unfortunately I only did the 3 runs on the small board before the tide was lapping at the car and had to call it a day. I really needed 2 more runs to get the average up as I had 47.88, 47.12, 47.1, then 2 at 44's on the big missile. Could have been mid 47 average.....
I picked up a weight jacket on the way home and next time will run some weight and maybe the 5.0.
The 4.4 Koncept felt awesome in the gusts and the 21 KA assy fin was as reliable and smooth as its big brother(23assy).
Congrats to Spotty as he has done some amazing speeds. He definately deserves this success and has a great "no techno" attitude which is refreshing in this sport. He will be pirched on top for a long time I'm sure. Well done mate.
cheers Tony

Great PB Jacques. Congrats. They just keep coming. My story? Well, all yesterday Guru was predicting The PiT at 45 knots. This was over the top for me, so was planning to join you guys at Conna. But, a re-check late in the evening had it amemded to 29 - 30. Wow, just my pace, so packed the car, set the alarm for 4:00am and off to bed with dreams of a rash of PB's to add to the team coffers. Long story short, arrived at 8:30 to a full tide held up by the wind, lapping the bottom step at the BBQ. Joined up with a bunch of desperates over a coffee at the group house whilse we awaited access, which we managed by 10:00, but this wasn't to help me. Wind strength just passed the sand dune was 40k. Daffey said that it would be another 15 knots down the course. That and the fact that Tony has never sailed anything less than a 5.6 was rigging a 4.4 was enough for me to hang up the westsuit booties for the day and watch the carnage. Which I must say was pretty exciting in its self. So sorry, nothing tho add to the scores, but, the Tonster may have something a bit later.  

Great vide Red. Good board handling guys.

Once verified, the top four sailors of all time for the 5 x 10sec on that other site (GPSSS) will be Craig S, Chris L, Mal W, and Tony W.  Congrats Tony on a superb effort.  Just to watch you guys sail on Sunday in the flesh would have been enough of an adrenalin rush.
