Late Arvo @ Manly across to Wello. Great cool down after a hot day!

Ca Sl58, Tr-4 7m & 36cm C3

Wello and Lota, Falcon 111, Nash Stealth 7.6, Meanline fin 39. Wind was beautiful at the start and I headed down Lota and got a good NM on the way. Then I heard something crack in my boom, so I did only one speedrun and headed back to Wello, did a gybe and headed out again and 500m out the boom broke and I was in the water. Managed to put the piece back in and sail on the other tack back home. I was hoping to get a good hour but I only managed half an hour, and I only did a few gybes. So in the end I should have rigged smaller and I would have had more fun and did better gybes. A trip to Simon for a new boom is planned for tomorrow.

Went for the 1hr but dropped a gybe near manly, I am guessing I stopped to early with sore hands from yesterday.

Great NM Brad thats awesome.

Someone accidentally threw down a big gear gauntlet yesterday

Went out to see how much I could wind out of the big gear in the chop at wello, been having a bit of trouble finding the speed I know this combo capable of so armed with a few ideas I tweaked an extra knot or two out of the day. 

Would have liked alpha to be a bit better today but then I'm not quite carving enough around and struggling to pull the sail in from downwind, getting there though.

Falcon 131, 8m TR2, 43cm Select Lightning

Late sail after work at the train but missed the best wind with gusts to 25k earlier. That Bic is so hard to get planning
