Whyalla, SA, AU

Patrik 145, NCX 7.0, 36cm weedy, 17-22ish Sth wind with plenty of high tide chop.

YAY, finally a decent sail. There hasn't been much wind about over this way for a while.

A quick sail after work 1830 started sailing. Rigged bigger cause the airport was only showing 14-17. Hit the beach and it picked up to the 20ish and no time to rig down. And after a couple of dodgy sails I think I have got the NCX feeling better or it could have just been decent wind.

What a great sail once you get the settings right. It was feeling overpowered in the chop then I used the bottom clew eylet and bam under control and comfy. And even gybing felt alot easier even with my limited skills.

Hopefully get another hitout tommorrow arvo.
