Windxtasy (14483km):
11 days ago Coodanup 16 - 24 kn ave 21 kn, 30 cm storm surge, tide 0.7m
41M, 47M, 54 Manta 21 ultraweedspeed and 23 weedspeed.
Struggled to get going inshore in the shallow water with small boards. Gave up on the 41 - too much energy required to get started. Most of the runs were on the 47 with 21 ultra weed. Still very difficult to get going inshore. Best 2 sec was on this combo. one GPS unit said 34.4 but down graded to 34.28 when both tracks averaged by GPS speed reader.
Put the manta on at the end to compare ease of getting going. Much easier but I also had a bigger fin - 5 X 10 similar, 2 sec 5th fastest.
I would have liked to keep going but my arms were cooked.
Super wind, pity about the storm surge which made it very choppy.
Strongest wind I have sailed in since the start of the season when I was totally unprepared for it.
My best 2 sec for 2 years and my best 5 X 10 for 3 years, so whilst I always feel I could have done better, I am pretty happy with that.
