Pepe47 (12846km):  7.7m hellcat, 115 rocket, 46cm mfc weedie, short little blast in a dying wnw. Got back to the boat ramp at Novara and the wind died in the ass. Thank xst I got out, I was going spare | ||||||||||||||||||
Sammy the snail (29455km):  2 categories   Never thought would sail.. trees was moving a little, went to check.. just enough for 6.7, so geared up Safety Bay out there, square to the beach, first sail in this direction.. better that not sailing and staying home not doing much , the sun was out too, good to catch some fresh air.. RRD 53, RSS 6.7, LessDuo 280/45 | ||||||||||||||||||
Decrepit (56730km):  3 categories    The big advantage of living by the beach, a window of opotunity presents itself, and you're out there. Just couldn't resist, 19c air and water temp, sunshine, smooth water and 15kts. Seemed like a great oppotunity to try Bug's 7.3, but of course by the time I'd rigged the sun had gone, although the wind had picked up a knot or so. It's the biggest sail I've used, seemed strange having sooo much power in so little wind. Dot was taking some pictures for Bugs, (pity she hadn't worked out how to use the pan head, the swivel lock was on, so she just clicked when I went past. A lot of shots with only bits of me, still It was really nice of her to brave the cold wind for the sake of science) Heading North towards Gearie's, (don't worry I gybed before I got in the waves)
Coming back the other way, level with home. A good test of the leight weight stuff, this sail only ways 4.3kg!!! No momon film, so it's as strong as. Think I had it on a bit too tight, but I was a bit nervous when I went out, didn't want to be too overpowered, as it was there was no problem, it felt very comfortable. Also had a couple of experimental footsraps on, Keiths ways 48gm, and mine weighs 25gms, but mine is very basic, will need to try it for a few hundred kms to see how it wears. Had about 3 really nice runs, then somebody told Huewy Elmo was on his way, so the wind got turned off. I was washing off when Elmo arrived.
Better luck tomorrow guys, I won't join you I've got a lunch committment. | ||||||||||||||||||
. Should have used bigger gear but though, this or nothing!
