As a grown-up I've never been so overpowered as today. The wind was way more than forecasted, I couldn't even close the sail properly. The angle being square and the water level not very low (= not very flat) didn't help either.

Now I know for sure the new 5.8 (on 430 mast) is more like the previous 6.2/6.4 Pryde then like the 5.6/5.8.

Still good to be out on a wednesday afternoon.
