6.5M T4, 94Lt Exocet & FW Weedie

I don't ordinarily wake up properly until after my second caffeine shot but this morning was different.Smile

Consequently, not thinking straight,  I rigged too big (7M to start with). On the water at Majestic by 7am. I was sailing with the brakes on the whole time & not having fun so thought I would rig the 6M - Nelson tells me it's not in the van (maybe we need to buy a more spacious van Surprised). Never mind, soldier on I must.

I rigged the 6.5M, lifted my skirt, found some balls & went for it (I knew time was limited). I was still very overpowered but had a fairly good sail.Laughing

Exocet Cross 104 with 7.5M T-bird & 38 Vector

Overpowered in the gusts so grabbed the 7.0M T-bird

Could have got away with a 6.5M & a smaller board as the wind was building & the lumps were getting biggerSurprised

Nursed a broken harness line on Port tack for the whole session, the PVC tube held up pretty wellLaughing

Pity some of us have to go to workYell
