Melville Beach, WA, AU.  Was expecting similar to yesterday light wind cruise so rigged the big guns.  All of a sudden was completely overpowered and getting hammered.  Held on for a couple of laps and decided was more than enough for the smaller kit so came in.  Was good timing as Jay and Al were there to exchange goodies.   Rigged, started launching and the sail ripped.  Decided to put some tape on it and comedy of errors started.   Nauli and Jay helping but to cut a long story short, the repair job was worse than the tear and took forever by which time wind had backed off.  Went out anyway, but was a balance session, just got planing once.   Moral of story, its Melville, rig big and stay rigged.  iSonic 117, SvT8.6, FF28
