WSC FFWW Round 2 on Rose Bay, NSW, AU

The wind was building 10-18kt NE as the boats went out to set the course, followed by a fleet of 5 windfoils and 7 windwings. 

But as we arrived at Shark Island, the wind shifted to a SE and dropped to 8-15 with some later holes under 4! Such a shame as the conditions were perfect and the forecast was stable for 3 days.... damn it but we can't control the wind. 

2 Races were run but the entire fleet struggled and nonone made a full flying lap. 

Scores to follow.

 

I was on my big gear... 

  • F4 1000 wide foil, 190 rear wing, 115+10 fuselage and not enough rear wing with -0.5 shim.
  • Patrik V2 100 wide Formula Foil board, MB at 101
  • Patrik Foil Sail 10.0m with too much downhaul for the wind-drop... :(
I found pumping more effective with a sharp down pressure on the back foot! So not a total right-off.
Oh and got some great images from my GoPro 360 and the boat cam. 
Thanks to Dan, Alex and WSC for hosting us.
