RS2, Evo5 5.4, choco 28 weedy
Straight off-shore, gusty with lots of holes in it. I have not sailed in a while so today was good enough to try the Evo 5.4. Last time i used it i was having trouble with cam rotation, i cut 4mm off 3 batons and she is sweet. The sail has a different feel to the HSM GPS ones, it likes to stay locked in and drives itself off the wind. At speed off the wind, when i want to head up i normally just heel the rail and beat tight but this sail holds its line and needs a long runway to slow down. Just going to take some getting use to. Gps said 36.7 so well pleased with that. Thought i was in an episode of Return of the Mummy when a huge dust squall had me holding the gear down for 5 minutes. You can;t sail in to the launch spot on this wind direction so the 200 meter walk in did not wipe away the smiles
Cheers
