Decrepit (56652km):
1 hour ago Distance attempt at Fangys, but a big fail, broke the winch again.
At first that didn't matter, wind was light was rigging the 6.2 koncept for the 60cm board and 20cm deltoid.
The koncept doesn't need huge downhaul and I can get that without a winch.
So first session started at 11:20 wind up and down some nice gusts, but several holes. Wind filled in midday constantly planning after that.
Half hour later, it was starting to get less comfortable so went in for lunch and change down.
I knew I would ne't get enough down haull on the 5.7 speed, so tried as much down haul as Steve could get without winch. this looked doable so went with it. But at the end of the first run, I couldn't rotate the sail without laying it down on the water and pushing the battens over.
I deemed this unsustainable so called it a day.
Really need to fix that winch properly!!!!!!
