Inverloch, VIC, AU

It was a dark and stormy arvo, the west bar was starting to make an appearance. Ado was already on the water and Kato was just rigging. I decided on the 5.0 and gave it a crack! The boys were flying and ended up with  38's, I was just trying to stay alive!

Swan Bay, VIC, Au

Woke up to a tree down in my driveway so decided to ditch work and go for a sail.  Made a last minute call to ditch work and head to Swan Bay for a cheeky away game to post my first entry in the 2012 Brass Monkeys Challenge.

After a cruisey 3hr drive arrived to see Jacques already rigged up.  Rigged my 5.0, Isonic 86sl with BP SpeedWeed28 (24cm deep).  Went out and floated around for a bit but was too underpowered.  Came in and changed up to my 5.9 Koyote just as the wind picked up... ah well, so i went out anyway.

Was really powered but something wasnt right... fin kept grabbing weed.  After stuffing around for a bit went for a quick up & back on Jacques gear (just missed that bloody ellusive 30kt NMYell), definitely the fin.  Back at Jacques place after had a good look at it, 40deg leading edge which shouldnt be a problem, however the leading edge has a very slight concave profile so the weed was catching at the tip of the fin.  May need to look at slightly modifying it.

noice NM Dan Cool. Let me know what you do to the fin, I've got the same one so will be curious to know if what you do improves it or not.
