GT7.0, XFire102, VDelta27/MUFDelta22. Melville. Fun sail in the sun - even hints of a seabreeze....Was touching the botom with the 27, so changed to the 22 - touched a few times with that too. Had the place to myself at times. Great sailing with all of my friends!

OP Gear today

Safety Bay Club Day, 1st for the season.

Wind chill was right up there so it took a few hours to get motivated.

Didn't rig any of my gear as there was plenty laying around 

There was a 6.0M T-bird rigged so I used that, thanks Bob & Bob.

Tried the proto type Severne Freeride/Freerace boards 95 & 105 and the 105 had a Severne proto type weed fin, about a 36cm.

It wasn't really windy enough for the 95 but the 105 was great.

The 105 gybes nice & sits flat in the chop, it cranked upwind, not sure if it was the board or the fin.

Downwind across the chop was amazing, safest feeling board I have ridden going off the wind over chop

I would like to spens a day on it on my home turf, I haven't sailed at SB for a while & the weed banks have moved & I wasn't going near them on borrowed gear

Nice 1 hour blast in choppy water chasing Lunny for a while, didn't get close to catching him today.

Melville Beach, WA, AU Started with 114 XF, 7.8m Lightning, 40CCF and changed to 122 XF 44CCF for a couple of runs

Shoulda, coulda, woulda, didnt use the 122 XF early enough.

Gybing practise in the average conditions. 

7.8 Reflex 7; X-F 105; Volt38...Melville

Short session in fluky breeze....all inside the sand bar...NM had 3 gybes...

Melville Beach, WA, AU

Severne Reflex 7 8.6, Mistral 137, CL44 in the dying breeze. Nice little cruise with my son. Good to have him out there- finally, (I've only be waiting 12 years).
