ODIN (38126km):
3643 days ago Jadrtovac,
forecast was looking really good with no rain until midday but that was not the case ...
wind was really up n downd and again nervous as hell and to top it off this was the biggest tide weve seen there making the chop super sharp and bigger ...
still need a bit of dialing in with the new mistral 91 had done alot of changes on the sail which has a newer profile which i didnt pay attenion at the begining causing some balance issuses and a good crash breaking the head of the boom , actually the plastic "thank odin" and no other damage all from not paying attenion..
Afterwards went in as the wind dropped had something to eat and then back out again fine tuning the setup for the good balance , the wind was average in the second session nothing overpowered and after tuning managed a 40 kt run which was pretty good and found a really good balance now and the new profile of the sail working much better and we shall see how it goes once we get more stronger stable wind and the whole setup now worked much better than at the begining !!!
would have been better on the 7.0 today but we rigged for the forecast ...
I can see this mistral 91 is goin to be a machine once fully dialed in very quick off the mark and jibes fantastic in the chop and gets powered up very quickly and getting really good stability once up to speed goin off the wind or crosswind...
anyway good sail with Igor and Sale and im glad Sale likes hes new mistrall 112 and he can feel a big difference from his previous board which is a good sign ...
mistral 91 , loft 6.3 , CLSL2-28
