sboardcrazy (27738km):
46 days ago 10-17kts NE level 0.35m Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU
7.2m Moto - RS4 ( 111ltres) - 24cms FF
then 7.5m Turbo
Stuffed the 1st bit by rigging too small. the forecast was for it to pickup and there were a couple of good gusts but I was off the plane a fair bit and struggling to get upwind.
I was fristrated with the Moto as it doesn't get me going until it's 15kts and it was mainly 10-15kts.
Stayed out for a while hoping it would get more consistent.
I had my mastfoot right at the back so I thought I'd move it forward to see if that helped me get upwind better. When I looked the ventplug was half undone..
It's designed so if it's undone you can't get the mastfoot in but as it wasn't fully in I had managed to get round that. 
Back in to screw it in and I put the bigger sail on.
At that stage it was Mike , Pete and I.
The others came in as it seeemed to be dying.
2nd shift - It wasn't as strong but it came up enough for the fun to begin! Not enough for bearaways or planing gybes.
The Turbo is lighter , more bottom end grunt and just nicer to use.
The Moto is better in good consistent 15-18kts which we didn't have.
Plenty of nice flatwater. I got the 2 sec with the Moto. Pity we weren't getting the strong gusts when I went back out.
There was me , Fergo ripping on his 135ltre , Brian and the learner from Sydney who is going well.
I'm happy I managed to sail probably the last seabreezes for the season. 
The board is out in the sun with a wick..
