Kyeemagh, South Ramp, 12 knots building to 16-18 SW-S

Starboard 160, Severne SSR 11m, C3 fin

I thought today was cancelled until it started to come in around 10am. I was on the water at 10:30 with the 11m, as it was about 12 knots and forecast to die off during the day. Well it steadily built up and after an hour I could have been on my 10m, but I'm too lazy to change sails.

I think I saw Craig over off the point at Kurnell, so I sailed over, but I didn't want to cross the shallow bar there, so I kept on sailing. Eventually I saw Andrew Rogan out there, but by that time I had done 90-95 kms and was well past my use by date. Sorry I didn't stick around for a few more runs, but the tank was empty, and I still had to get home to the top of the runway.

After about 80kms, I was dropping the sail so many times, but I wanted to stick it out to get to 100. Only just got there!

Ramsgate, NSW, AU.  16-20 SW-S

Starboard 161, stock fin, Severne Code Red 11m.

My seventh sail on the formula gear and I think my best yet (when can I stop counting them I wonder).  Made a few silly mistakes at first but then some things started to click, particularly in regards to sailing down wind.  Slightly different stance and hand grip made things a lot easier.

Great day for it.  Really good breeze, fairly consistent.  Strong at times but manageable.

As Mike mentioned, I saw him out there as I just got in the water.  He said he had been sailing for a while and was buggered.  I figured he'd done 30kms or so.  100kms is just ridiculous.  If they had a formula division on Seabreeze I wonder if this would be the record distance??  Well done mate.  Absolute respect.
