Started off with a nice 16-18knots but dropped out to 12-14 and slogging. Oh well better than nothing. Maybe a bit more tomorrow?

Not a cloud in the sky, beautiful warm clear water, mackerel chasing bait and heaps of stingrays at Kurrimine today. Sailed with Lyn and Herb who had good sessions. Wind 10 - 15 kts so got a few k's up.  Naish 120l, Ezzy 7.0 Infinity 36SL.

 

Phil, good to see you got out as well. Wait to see what the captn and Cam did at GI today.

Winter Trades arrived today .Narrow window of opportunity on Eastern Run before it became treacherously shallow.

Started with the CA 50-the demo board for Speed Week -Great Board !! with a 7.2rss & 30cm venom & ended up on the Ca 47 with 24cm Maui ultra fin  & 7.2rss.Latter combo was marginally faster .

THe tower was showing 30 knots but less on the water - was 20-24  early then picked up to 26-27 knots -ran out of water just as the wind got to a nice strength .

Took a cm off the Maui ultra on the 2nd last run -trying to get too close to the reef edge -AHHHRRrrrr-Bob did unspeakable things to his rig but I'll let him describe his day ...

Overall good fun .Not enough sailing time in the lead up to today so arms seriously wasted ...

Another GPS unit bit the dust today -God this is an expensive Sport !!!

Bitter sweet day at Green Island Undecided Got a PB Cool but damaged my board YellYellYellCryCryCry

We had a typical great Green Island day, beautiful warm day and wind. I had a plan but ended with a brain fade, was going to chase speed in the morning then go for the other divisions in the arvo. I was constantly a couple of knots behind Cam at around 33 most of the morning, I then gave the Blade some more downhaul and straight away a low 35, next run a high 35, then my 36. This is where I had my old fella brain fade, I'm thinking goodie every run I'm going faster so I'll get my 5x10 up, wrong Yell The very next run I hit the reef shoving the fin base through the back of the fin box Yell Yep I knew it was wrong to go where I did but the GTC ladder had me by the nuts Embarassed One minute I'm pumping my fist in the air, the next I'm laying in the fetal position on the beach sobbing Undecided

 

Carbon Art SL58, Venom 34cm, Loft 6.8 Blade and boardies Cool

Kurrimine Beach...Arrived for lunch...om water about 2pm...Rossco already on water....Not a lot of wind but good fun...Fatboy with NP 7.0

Gee Firie,  I always thought Cam was the mad one, but now I'm changing my mind.     Congrats on the speed.



Lyn (9418km):

Kurrimine Beach with Herby and Rossco....HoppyBob still on camera duty, but won't be too long and he will be on water again.

Bit underpowered with 5.9 and 105l Screamer...but great fun and no complaints.

Congrats Firie...very great effort, but sometimes you do take the cake.

Good to hear you got out Phil - absolutely been glassed out here for the last week.  BTW how are those cams rotating with the RAM?

Brian, the RAM is still not rotating properly, tried your lube trick and checked there's no shims. Any more ideas? its only the one above the boom thats sticking half inside out!

Anyway I'm pretty unimpressed with race sails generally so think I'll stick to normal sails in the future, might try your c.red one day tho!

Great news from James from Carbon Art, he says my baby is easily repaired and he let me know how to do it, this is what I was hoping he'd say, so happy Smile

If you're in the market for a board, take that info in, you can get real advise and help from the manufacturer Tongue out
