5663 days ago took a days leave due to a promising forcast and was lucky enough to get some of the wind promised!
i would say its prob been close to a year and half since i have actually thought about changing from a 5.0 to a 4.4 and i woulldnt call myself a heavy weight.....real wind at last
it was good to get back on to srm turf at yo yo,s and get some (unusual) port tack sailing in.
wind was very square to the point where we where sailing back to where we started easily in hind sight it was pretty well set up for Alphas but that was the last thing on everyones mind....very happy to get a 40.23 on the clock face!

5663 days ago 2 categories Woooweee!!!
Took the morning off, and took the gamble of the adventurous option of a two hour drive southbound. I had originally planned to go Woodies, and in retrospect, glad I didn't.
Cheesegraters is a just like Kanaha in Maui, except a lot more thigh deep mud, rocks, revolting hyper-saline water, and no showers, lawn, palm trees, chicks in bikinis......but I digress.....what it did have today was very flat water, and plenty of wind. Sure, it was gusty and the course very square, but a bigger, better sailor than me could have got 43+ down there today, and that's prretty quick for WA.
Used the trusty Manta 49, KA Lockwood / McDougall 23 and KA Koncept 5.8, then changed down to the previously unused 5.0 when it picked up. At it's best it was too strong, even for the 5.0 (with 5kg lead) and my fastest run ended in a big stack which I believe Snides may have captured on video for your viewing pleasure.
GT31 x 2 display speeds 40.83 & 40.87.
Very happy to just pip my PB, and also stoked for the other PB getters...but I won't steal their thunder.
