Got there and everyone rigging 6.6m so I rigged my 6m + 95 Rocket..grr next time I'll go back to the old system of looking at the graph and rigging what I usually do..Bit underdone . I'd usually rig the 6.6m on the 115 for that. Wind wasn't quite getting all the way into the flat stuff but better than last time. I hung off bearing off till I got closer to the flat so ended up not quite enough wind to get PB"s. Got 28.98 by GPS for 95 ltre which is a PB for that board.
I don't think I fell in once all sail! Boy it certainly makes you think your good sailing there.. .
Eventually came in and rigged the 115ltre Xcross with 6.6m sail. It had dropped off a bit by now but the gusts were ok. Boy that boards fun! Much livelier than the rocket and so forgiving..Think I've outgrown the Rocket ( at least in flatwater).
Got there 2ish not in the water till 3.25 as I rigged the 78ltre + 4.8m sail ready for the strong winds that never came but decided the 6m was more suited after someon came in and said it was about 15-18kts ( grr what the Norah graph had said)
..zzz.. got a PB for distance at least.
Lots of people out - Adrian from Sydney ( 1st time here) , Pugsly , Pete, mick + millsy . Mat , Bruce, Tibor ,Damien , Paul , Wayne + others..
Doesn't look like I'm going to better the 31.69 this summer season..
Nice photos Murray! Great speeds Murray!
