First time on the iS86 - sensational board. Sailed at the Goolwa channel again in far from ideal conditions. The wind was 15-28 knots, very broad and the combo was smoking along. This was not enough wind to expose the full bank, so it was pretty choppy (approx 10cm - 15cm). Sam and Carl are sailing at Boggy I think today, so hopefully they've got some distance numbers to assist the team this month. Pity these numbers won't help the team, but maybe this was a day for me. I started with the 6.6 on the iS122 and a 43cm fin - very nice combo in the lighter breeze, then had a few runs on the iS101 still with the 6.6. I probably could have ended up on the iSW49 again with a 5.8, but was just loving the iS86 too much. I need to work on my distance, NM and hour, but am loving the speed strip at the moment. Big wind coming again on Monday - can't wait.
