2009 iSW49 / 2009 5.8 Koncept / 2009 C3 Venom 24 - Clayton Channel.

Wasn't planning on sailing today, but a quick check of the Hindmarsh Island weather station online this morning told me NNW 37 knots. Hook up trailer and race down there. Weather station gusted to 42 knots NNW when I first hit the water. It was nuts. Wind was swinging alot between NW + NNW and had some large holes. Only a couple of runs let me hook up enough gusts for a NM attempt. Nice to sail with Dave + Sam. Hopefully Sam has nailed his alphas to help us out (or even Dave for that matter Smile). Big rolling chop down the course due to the swinging wind made the NM runs entertaining.

More wind forecast tomorrow...

After 6 attempts.. my first sail in the Clayton Channel, warm (17c), sunny and windy, it don't get much better !!

Lorch S83, KA Koncept 5.8, C3 Venom 26

Second time on the Venom and it's a top fin, thanks for the tip Chris. First time with the 5.8 on the Lorch 83, never really settled, tried lots of different settings but it did not seem to "take off". Never found the gust that held all the way down the course. Two big offs in the rolling chop down the end of the course. first sail in over a Month and great to get out but not up to the day, there was a lot more speed to be had if you were good enough.

Great to watch Chris and Sam making the most of the conditions

water was higher than it has been of late, another 30cm and it could be the end of the strip !!!!!!! Control/Dam walls are well on the way !
