12-18kts SSW - S Canton Beach, NSW, AU 

6.6m KA Koncept - 87ltre isonic - 28 Maui weedie

 then RS4 with 38cms BP 50 weedspeed

Rigged conservatively because of my shoulder and was comfortably powered in the best of it. Some ok at gusts at first. I got the 2 sec on the first run with the isonic.

 Still having the mastfoot slip to the front. I stopped and tightened it and it stayed put but even with Wayne helping and bashing it with a piece of wood it was almost impossible to get off..Undecided I might try my new one next time and see if that works..

 I'm not real keen on the drake straps. I have made them really big so I can get in but then my feet get stuck and it's hard to get out of them to gybe. I'll persevere a bit longer but may replace them with dakine or similar.

The first real go of the isonic - feels fast and lively but so far well behaved. Gybes still a bit rusty. The shoulder doesn't like patchy underpowered sailing so I switched to the RS4 and it was a lot easier. Loving the BP 50 weedies! Lovely to have a decent fin for once.

 The RS4 is definitely a softer ride in chop but slower. Wind was dying and turning more S so finished up. Another short sail to look after the injury. It seems to be strengthening things..Smile  

Bruce , Wayne , Sam and the youngens came later but it was pretty SE and light by then.

a great fun sail of marmong spent the afternoon dialing in the new simmer sc race 7.8 

first impressions are fanatastic it rigged flawlessly straight out of the bag nice tight luff all the way through and very consisitent cam pressure through all 4 cams and all specs printed on the sail are exactly right which is a really nice change 

on the water it felt super lite and comfortable. fist jibe and it rotated intstantely with no effort 

it does feel very slippery and cant wait to get it into the flat water to check out its top end

Shoulder isn't too bad although it's still there.Ive used a lot of ice and been doing a lot of the strengthening a d core exercises the chiro gave me..all the rest of my body is complaining 😂.

The test will l be when I try the big kit in Lake  Macquarie. I'll have to be careful tbere..Not sure how I'll  go uphauling and using the bigger sail.
