avalon speed strip

Very fun short blast out here. The visitors (isn't it nice to have somebody with a camera!), wanted to know what this W.S. lark is about so I had to give a demo.

gusts looked about 18knots so rigged the 6.0 on the 48 with the 23 lockwood. picked up when I went out, got a 33.33 on the clock, tried for a 5X10 but breeze dropped and I was only getting 28s

 

(I'll have nothing to do with steam!)

Princess Royal Harbour, WA, AU

decided I should try my local spot in the westerly we had today. Far too bumpy for me to do speed , pity as the wind was there. fun sail anyway

JP45S 5.4RSSII 20 slinghsot

 

Figures from KA72, something funny though as I did not gybe and I got an alpha.

oh well.

I have zeroed the alpha until I get confirmation of what it should be .

Glory Holes.  TR-8 6.3, 55 Nude

Good fun down here today. Alot of mobsters. Benderman derigged as the best squall of the day went through, both Stroppo and I were hanging on then had to abort because we could not  see where we were going. Great team effort by all today. Finally some wind an got Stoppo out on the 55wide. It was great watching him give it sum.

JP Slalom VI 65cm, NP RSR Eii 6.2m, JP weed 31cm.

Got woken up this morning with a blinding headache from barometric pressure drop, didn't improve during the day, went through a few white smarties trying to get rid of it to no avail.

Got down to Benderland around 1, don't know what the hell Bender is grizzling about Bunbury not having wind, there was plenty of it around, so much so that I rigged my kids sail for the first time in a long timeSurprised, Crasher and Strop had already posted some good numbers before I lobbed up as had the Bendyman, Gloryholes looked a treat.

Tried initialy with the speed board but there wasn't enough to get going without burning me out so I went with the 65 slalom, unfortunately after a long tack up wind and a long wait I found that my front foot was continualy coming out, (4+ times on the one naughtyYell) so I got jacked of it and went back to shore to do an experiment and change them.

Switched the front foot straps over to some Cabrinha Adjustable Kite board strapsEmbarassed, eventually went out and WOOFUKENHOOLaughing Housten we have an embarasingly small stiffySurprised the the kite footstraps worked waaaaaaayyyy better than expected, super secure and mega comfy as well, got my confidence back and was able to push the board hard again.

Couldn't buy a naughty today every one I got hit with lulls, Crasher and Stropp were absolutely destroying me out there with Strop not doing my ego much good giving casual little waves as he went on by.

Had a ball out at Benderland today, could have done without the blinder, couldn't remember parts of quite a few runs and vision wasn't the best, but would have felt crap at home anyway so I'd rather be sailing.

Great turnout, good to see Loashi and JJ out and about.

Lotsa funCool Gloryholes rocksCoolCool (I don't know what Benderman keeps whining aboutWink)

Windxtasy, put in a file on KA72 and see if you get one too!

I will see if one of my great freineds can have a look at the file and tell me what the alpha should have been.

Maybe it is an april fools by Ka72!

I have just seen what happpens when you write the word wind..... you are very clever Nebs and you have a sense of humour. A great combinationSmile

 

Great speeds for the ocean Mike, nice photo tooCool

I always put my files through KA 72. There was once where I did no turns and still came up with an alpha. It was nothing like 22 though...

wind steam

just had to test... dniw spelt backwards comes out as steam. So does steam spelt forwards.

Hey, alphas with out doing a gybe. Laughing

I queried this with Mr KA72  about 18 months back.

One of our local guys got a very good alpha and his run had no gybes.

We argued back and forth before (I suspect) him writing me off as a w**nker.

It's good to finally see somebody else notice this.

Something well wrong here.

Don't ever take the alpha results seriously.

(Dylan, AKA Mr KA72, posting using Shield Crusher's account..)

Mike, I don't have any record of a conversation about Alphas with you. Are you sure you were talking to me? Not sure on your w*nker status. Foot in mouth

As for this Alpha, it's a classic spike. One look at the Google Earth overlay would confirm that:

Bad Alpha

Not very Alpha shaped, is it?

I'll post an explanation of what went wrong with the calculation over on Facebook. However, when I ran the track through GPSResults I got a much more sensible 8.32 knots.
