What a good day!...Never in the big wind...always inbetween... as always the wind almost blew me off the road driving home..

but had a good time with my little 51 wide speed board and later on the isonic 87 with 7m+16cm gtDelta...Smiles alround...

15-20kts SW then 18-23kts S  Buff Pt 

 6.2m OD - 79ltre falcon - 16 kestrel

 My collarbone was very sore all morning so I was a bit worried about sailing but it feels a bit better now..Wink

I haven't sailed Buff for about 4 months. Since coming back from injury I've been avoiding it as I thought it would be too shallow and the weed too thick.

It showed as the first run I flew flatout into a gybe ..forgetting to check for weedbergs and ran into a big one halfway through.. splat..Laughing Mm note to self - check it's clear before you gybe..

I'd forgotten how much fun it can be!

 Disappointing stats don't reflect the fun or how fast it felt. I'm really disapointed with the alpha as I did my best gybe for ages - flew in and out losing hardly any speed. I was sure it would be a 20 or 21..Must have been too wide as it chose another one for the alpha..Cry

Love that combo. The new adjustable outhaul worked great ( except for the few times I forgot to pull it on before gybing and ran out of adjustment.Embarassed ).

 First go with the kestrels..both extremes..very impressed with it's holding in the small chop and the way it cuts through the bergs working or downwind..

 I got overconfident coming bacxk fully powered in the channel chop and it went sideways and in I  went.. I waterstarted but then spent the rest of the trip in going sideways..

 Boy Bill is going well. I watched him come in through the channel fully powered up with the board leaping out of the water..( boy he must have a decent fin on to sail across like that) ...No a standard delta! Great sailing!

First half of the session I should have had the 6.6m up but it made for nice gybing.. The second half I was very powered up and tired so didn't even try to gybe..Forster has aspoilt me.. I froze today the few times I stood around waiting for a gust.

Isonic 90 and Severne Overdrive 7.0, 18 Delta then 18 Delta XT

Great days sailing. Started off light then pickup to be pleasant and late in the afternoon it got quite strong for the 7.0, or perhaps I was just too tired.

Sue, why are you pulling on your outhaul before you gybe? You need power to go through the gybe.

Someone told me to let it out for the bearaway then pull it on before the gybe or it ends up all on one side with no adjustment left???

So what's the correct way to use it so you don't run out of adjustment? It's a chinook.. 

 Now I've got formula line I love the way I can actually pull it on and it goes off brilliantly!

What happens when you do more than one sesion a day Tony? Can you post both?

Great sailing Andrew and amazing kms!

Nice speed Andy, Sue if you let the out haul off you need to pull it back on prior to gybing, that’s the correct way..... I don’t even let mine off anymore and I’m still fast enough 😜

If you post a second session on the same day it overwrites the first one. You could stitch them together or manually enter the best stats from each session.

Yep that is the correct way to use the outhaul, you are not so much "pulling it on" you are simply returning it to the neutral position. "pulling it on" is only for crazy over powered conditions.

Great Byron beating session today, they don't happen very often, it needs to get a fair bit windier after he has to leave for work.Smile

Hi Tony, if you email me your files I can combine them together.  Or if you have realspeed you can do it yourself.  Here's the link with the info  https://www.gpsteamchallenge.com.au/pages/guides/combining_files
