Sailed on the Derwent with Steve in a good SW wind (20 knots).  I used 2009 iSonic 86 and 34cm fin with Severne SSR6.6.  Not always powered up, especially when gybing either side of the river (rarely planed out of a gybe).  Going for 1 hr again and finished down near the docks, go way off the wind trying to milk the last out of what I thought might have been the end of the wind ....  Took another 8 mintues to get back on the plane.  This GPS thing makes you forget about the consequences ...., as I would have been stuffed on the 86L miles downwind (knee-deep in water) if the wind didn't come back in.  However it did and I eventually (40 minutes) made it back up wind to where I started.  All up a great sail.  Managed a good off the wind NM in quite rough conditions after doing the 1 hr and making up the ground I had lost.  Sandy Bay is a good spot to sail.  More rough than choppy, meaning there are some good long sections between the waves lines for reasonable speed.  I reckon a 25 kt 1 hr is readily achievable if the wind would just hold in. 

Checked my data on Dylan's speed reader and got the same results as RealSpeed on all disciplines (well done Dylan, great software).

Well done guys good hr & nm. I'm starting to have serious saltwater withdrawal pains driving a harvester 7 days a week for the last 4 weeks this is my first look at a pc  Bad luck with the ribs Perks only just found out.  An impact vest might be the go. Good to welcome Jason to the team
