Dawn patrol with Norts and Claude - fairly constant 20 to 22 knots - nice way to wake up.

Thought the wind would drop but it kept howling round the house so instead of doing those all important jobs whipped down to Point walter for a session. Unfortuately the GPS ran out of gas but i think i was nearly done by then anyway.

On the water after 10, so I prolly missed the best of it, but it was fun for a while.

M112 + 7.6 TR7 + 40 Sting.

Never managed to line up any strong gusts when I was looking for bearaways down the point, so the speeds were average, but pleased to at least find one good gust for a decent alpha.

Huey lured me into a mile with a sustained gust as I was heading out on port tack and I sailed all the way down to Melville.  Getting back was a struggle, and included wobbling through some sub 10K holes, but I made it back upwind without a swim so all good.

Breeze completely shut down around noon, and it was a long slog home.

Carl - 7.3 is fine on the 86 - in fact it feels really similar to the 6.6 (last years).

Last week I used the 7.3 on the 86 with a 30 weedy with no problems. It really does handle like a smaller sail. Yet still heaps of grunt Laughing

 

Jonah - shame we missed you, we were 400m east of the sand spit and I was off the water by 8.30am.

Congrats on the PB Cool

Congratulations of the PB Jonah, I'm sure that was better than jobs around the house.

Nice scoring alphas Pointy and Jonah.
