Jacques van der Hout (14471km):
5235 days ago Looked very promising in the beginning, i made a 83,5 and 82,59 run 2 hours before low tide. From experience the course gets faster around low tide, so this looked like record conditions. Made a mistak to get a drink and some food at the beach as i didn't wanted to waste my energy. After this the wind shifted to WZW and it was done! But next time better, once everything will be perfect and we will sail records here. Surprised to see Da Curve was not ok with WZW, i bought a waterscooter especially for these conditions. But this weekend i had already some fun cruising around with friend on this machine. I will download a headcam youtube video of my 83,5 run with 85,21 topseed later. On the video you can see how smooth this run was and this was for sure not the limit as i was not even powered up and sailing against the current. At least we scored one more point for the team challenge, 2 seconds topspeed.
