What a difference the right fin screws make! Same gear today, but all worked well with the fins not cavitating.
A better day today, but aaargh! I missed my hour PB by 0.069 of a knot!
The day started well with beautiful flat water and moderate wind. Both GPS units started first pop, and Flex had kindly lent me a spare unit just in case.
The only problem was that I lost my watch, which is not ideal when the plan is to go for an hour.
At least I had the boom mount GPS units so I could monitor the hour. My plan was to keep going until the hour stopped climbing, but the decision was made for me when I fell off a gybe and didn't have the leg strength to get on again. It was not the first gybe I had dropped, but I thought if Fingers can get a 15 kn hour PB without doing any gybes, then I should be OK with only getting most of them.
My best hour for 9 years. This is the only hour in my top 5 which is scored in this decade.
