Jervios Bay, * Race foil, M1 7.0 DG91, Big thanks to the Perth Kite Racing club for letting us join in today for some racing in the bay. Wind started at a nice 15 - 20 knots and built during the day with the final race getting a few 25 knt bullets. Really hope we get these conditions in Syndey :) 

Managed to get 3 races in with 3 laps each. Couldn't catch the kites but the cats were easy.

RRD Firestorm 101L with 7.5M T-bird & 40 MFC then 38 MFC.

After a few runs it was evident that the board / sail combo wasn't right for the conditions.

Changed to the 6.5M Unit & 94L Exocet with a 34 EX.

Too much outhaul killed the sail but eventually I woke up

Best speed was on the Exocet & the best Alpha was on the RRD.

Fastest speed during the NM was entering the gybe where things were getting hairy half way to PW

Late in the day I had a go on a brand new RRD Firestorm 123L with a 6.8M Fire.

Noice Board, sails flat as & gybes like it's on rails, the sail was very nice also

Back to the Sausage factory tomorrow

7.8 R7 (for a few runs) then 7.0 R7; Patrik Slalom 110 + Volt 38 and RRD X-F 98 + DWS 25....Melville

Quite a pleasant session tho had to change down to 7.0 to feel a bit more comfortable when the breeze kicked. The new Patrik 110 is really nice...handles the Melville chop really well. The fastest 2 sec was on the X-Fire but the 110 Patrik wasn't far behind with a low 34. Pleasant beers after...nice way to finish the weekend.

6.5 T4 & 94 lt Cross

I should have waited a little longer before I rigged

Was way overpowered & too slack to rig another sail

It was nice to catch up with a few people who I had not seen for a while
