ODIN (24578km):
5310 days ago Its not fair missed the right tide and took a risk to sail in the shallow water but unfortunatly couldnt sit tight on the course due to shallow water and had to bear off into the chop half way along the bank pretty gnarly but had full trust in my equipment and had no problem pushing it through the messy stuff....
Wind was roughly 20 to 25 kts but still a bit patchy had some good gusts coming through on the run and once i have bared off the wind then the lull came through which was dissapointing i guess you have to be in the right moment at the right time.....
Only managed a few runs before the wind died , if only it lasted 20mins more would have achieved some greater speeds arghhhhhhh .
Should have gotten down an 1hr ealier but who knew....
Pretty amazed with the freerace sail plenty of grunt and has a great sligshot affect when preparing to bare of the wind accelerates very fast in the moment and not bad for first time rigging it up ...
Looking forward to the Southerlies in the next few days and will see what will happen then fingers crossed....
