maybe I need to start sailing over to Kurnell and back John. Never done it.

Nice one Nigel.

Longer runs and fewer jibes the route to 20.

Good focus and result on the 1 hour Nigel. You looked like you were on a mission today.

Yes, maybe you need to take a packed lunch and head out to Kurnell and back again to cut out jibe times. 

Good distance again today David.

Congrats on the Pb Nigel! Yes I want to get a 20kt hr this year too..need long runs in flat water..

Good going Nigel. planing out of 70 gybes is a feat in itself.

Yes longer runs, less gybes, harness lines adjusted before you really go for it, and a camelbak will help you get there more comfortably.

Cheers Anita/Sue. Umm, I just realised it's only 37 gybes hehe.

Well done on the hour PB especially considering the number of gybes in it. I agree with Sue that longer runs are needed to get towards that 20 knot hour level unless one is a gun sailor.

wow, great PB Nigel!

Well done on the PB Nigel.  I think Primbee could be pretty good for a an hour PB in a Westerly.  The one hour is the one that I would like to improve on as mine is a bit average.  Still looking for my GPS.  

Yes, definitely Primbee... those runs are so long and flat. Can't wait for the winter westerlies. Hope to see you on the water sometime soon Dean.

Nice Nigel

Yep back into Nigel.  Come the Westerlies, we should do a trip to Primbee to put a score on the board for DD.  

Great PB Nigel, the hour requires stamina and technique which i both lack  

OK I'll vouch for you Dean. For the record. Dean was out early at Kyeemagh and having a good blast around with me. Actually he sailed past me more times than I thought was necessary.

Nigel. You must have just missed him during the change in shift.

Well we now we have a new and of legend status - Peter join the team!

Welcome aboard Peter (Wineman)!

That's great. Welcome to the team Wineman.

Congrats on the Hr PB Nige!

I don't know Barks I think you got the better of me most of time.  You where definetly pulling away from me in the gusts.  I really wanted to have a sail with the afternoon shift but had visitors coming over for dinner so was on a promise.  Now where is that stinking GPS unit.  

I caught up with Dean in the carpark :)  He was doing great in the marginal conditions early on. One old fella in the carpark even said the guy with the Severne sail was very talented because he was planing all the time :P The DD team is going strong... very active. It's great. If Waiting4wind, Roar and Dean post more we'd be killing it.

Nigel, on the thirsty.... I use a camel back pack type hydration pack. I can easily drink from it while sailing. It is good when going for the hour. Normally take 2+ L of water with me. Probably not ideal in light wind to have the extra weight, but I never notice it holding me back.

Good choice Peter, welcome !

Nigel the other thing I was thinking was that pryde lifejacket that has the inbuilt bladder in it.  It is also designed not to ride up so I may purchase one myself soon.  

Welcome to the team Peter!!
