Hi, I'm (Seb)astian your new team member. JAK finally convinced me that speed sailing is lots of fun :). Usually I sail around Bayside. About half of you know me already and I hope I'll meet the other half of you soon as well. As you can see I'm really fast ;).

Today's session at Green Point was one of the worst I have had in the last few months. Only three slow planing runs and schlogging around for ages. At times I though swimming would be faster. But at least I got to try my new GT-31 :). Hopefully there will be more wind to come, at least I can easily beat my current PBs.

JAK, I hope you did better!

Green Point waiting for the forecasted 25-30kts that never came. Met with Seb(astian) and George from the team so we gave it a go. Went out with my 6.2 in expectation for more wind, but should have rigged larger, mostly underpowered. Anyway had a few and even long good runs until the wind shifted more east and then died, couldn't get back to the starting point and ended the session with a long walk of shame. Frown

Seb, not much better, but good to be out on the water. Btw the long run wasn't long enough for the nautical mile.

Looking fwd to the next session in better conditions Smile. Sunday ?????
