Congrats on your PBs Sue. Sounds like the conditions were challenging. Jeeze, I have never ever even seen a sail under 4m!

Correction: ".....should be able to get over 28 30 knots in ideal conditions...."      Aim high

Hey Greg - glad the AB is as good as you expected. Nice speed in the rough and weed. looking fwd to seeing that fin in the carbon. Catch ya!

Good one Sue, if possible you should have hung around and sailed in the afternoon. The wind moderated a bit and was quite steady. It was comfortable for me on a 5.5m though a slightly bigger sail would have been the go. More importantly the weather cleared and we had a fair bit of sunshine.

Nice speed Greg, constantly high speeds for you buddy!!!! Hangin with the King Byron is rubbing off well. Goin off Sue!! Adams right aim high, you wont be disappointed.

Well-Done Sue on the PB's!

Greg & Byron Awesome Speeds!

Well Done Sue and Cluffy on your PB's

Awesome speed Greg!

hey, nice one sue, you looked great out there today, well done on the pbs, there magnificent!!!! great speed greg, good on ya man, nice one bryon

Hey Greg, nice one mate, it stayed at 35, so thats cool. You looked real sweet out there today. Congrats on the PB's Sue, you braved the worst conditions and still pulled great numbers - well done!

Great PBS Cluffy nearly a full deck !!!!! and Sue , you did really well in the 40 knot gusts !!!!!!

This custom Weedy is a 25 cm , it is pretty thick , its exaclty what i was after , a shorter thick fin with the same power as my standard 29 .Its  super stiff ,%100 carbon .It did not dissapoint , never let go once , plenty of power , and no slouch as i did a 35 on it on my 59 AB .

Thanks everyone! Only just found this page..insert embarassed icon..

I would have liked to stick around but I was using my arms more than normal as I was ready to try & unhook at any time..They went like jelly.. I also thought Id quit while I was ahead as it was the first sail I'd had recently where I hadn't had heart palps..

Now wheres that 20 -25kt Sw in flat water minus weed so I can really try and get my PB's!

 This time of year it seems to be either 10-18kts or ballistic..

Nice PBs Sue, and your teams in 3rd Place!

Greg that fin looks the goods. Would love a run with it in the falcon when we catch up again. I need something small for my Falcon 99 (62 wide), and also for my 113 (69 wide) for the Queens mudbank. A couple of these short fatties might be the go......

No worries Adam have a 32 in the same profile , i use it on my 70 wide and 7.6 and have done 33 s on it .

GK - thats the shit i am talking about! I use a 38cm weedy in my 113 Falcon and there is no way i can sail the mudbank with a fin that deep. Would love a run on the 32 in bertha for sure. Will get a couple off ya mate if they work well in the big falcons

Thanks Astrid.

Aj you should see my 3.2m sail.. The first time I rigged it at Canton someone came over and said ' Jeez..isn't that cute.. 2 sails have got together and made a baby.." lol's''

Unfortunately it s 90's no twist twitchy thing. I would usually have been using it this day but at the Guy Cribb clinic Guy suggested I use the larger 3.8 m as it had more control..The 3.2m does need consistment 30kts + which we don't often get that as when it's that strong its usually ballistic and gusting to 60kts..ugh..

The 20 to 25 knot SW wind was at Canton that afternoon. It would have been better if you turned up around 2pm. The rain cleared, the sun shined, and the wind moderated.

Bugger.. Pity I was playing it safe after the heart palps..Better luck this week maybe..
