WooHoo Anita

Nice one Anita!

Well done  Anita so happy for you 

Awesome Anita. All the hard work has had its rewards. your Nm has given me a bean thanks

Nice numbers all round Anita, that 20 alpha isn't far off.

Great work on the corner, well done Anita

good stuff Anita PB yeeeaaah , great naughty too

Geff well done on your 30NM I see its your second best

Congrats on the Alpha Pb Anita, as Sammy said a great Naughty as well. Nicely done

Congrats on the PB alpha Anita, I know you have been working on it.

well done Anita you have to be happy with that session congrats 

Nice alpha Anita!

Congrats on the Alpha PB Anita.

Yay Anita, big congrats 

Congratulations Anita and nice to meet you! 

Nice naughty Geoff. Just a smidge off a PB. Thanks for the backup

Congratulations Anita. Better every time.

Danijel, I might have to go back to Fangys again...

It's a great place to learn to gybe. No waterstarts, flat water, consistent wind. You should come down sometime.

Congrats on the alpha PB Anita! I always find alpha Pbs the most satisfying as it's so hard to get them right.

Well done Anita, a 20 knot alpha must be in sight

Great job, Captain!

Nice set of numbers, Geoff!

Thanks everyone! Your encouragement has helped me to keep trying. Alphas have been extremely frustrating for me.

Given how long it takes to make an increment of improvement, I feel that 20 knot alpha may still be a long way off.

Anita, it took all of us 100s and 100s of Alphas and falls before getting there! One day it will click for you, that day you will be un-stopable

Maybe one day do only A, nothing else..

Look Mike and Joe, sometime thats what they do all session AAAAAAAAA (the fight for the crown )

courage

Sammy - I have already done thousands of alphas. I wish I had counted them all... I am just not very coordinated, and I forget quickly. If you had been reading my posts during the winter most of them were just gybe practice - about 40 in a session. Yesterday was just gybe practice - the nm was just the run home. I find toward the end of the session I am doing fairly well, then next time I fall back into my old bad habits and it takes me about an hour to start getting them right again. Different conditions and different gear all the time doesn't help. I just get my confidence up and then next session conditions are different and I do terribly.

I shall persist... starting to see some improvement at least

that CLICK will come, im telling you.. maybe ask the 2 MM gurus some tips, or do some with one of us sometime.. Im not a guru, but I wld be happy to check on you . at the speed you doing, you should be sitting at 19..

Thanks Sammy. Hardy has promised me a tutorial. At the moment I am working on getting around smoothly, not working too much on the entry speed because the faster I am going the more likely I am to mess up. Entry speed mostly 20-22 knots. The faster ones are the ones which go too wide.

cool, maybe I will join the class too

Nice work on the PB Anita, and to Geoff with the great NM and Alpha

Nice one WindX....congrats on the pb.  Book me a seat in the alpha class as well....I certainly need all the help I can get!

Congrats on the alpha pb

You are doing great Anita. Never mind the alpha speed PB. You are doing them constently which is great.

May need to look for all these spots. They all sound so remote... Coodanup, Fangy's, Navara...  I'm yet to visit Safety Bay .

Coodanup is Fangys....

I'll make up a map for you.

They're not hard to find, you just have to find the time for a drive. Mineral and Jeff and Geoff are up your way and they manage it.

Nice work Anita, congrats on the PB
