Tomski (6938km):
5120 days ago Back from work so any sails a good one!! Sailed the easterly this morning ( 9.0 code red, w100 formula ). Very relaxing way to start my break. Mid arvo start on iso 76, 6.7 code red, 27cm le weedie. Good combo but fin felt like it had a plastic bag on it. Just cant seem to go back to my slalom fins (that used to feel fast now feel very draggy). Tried to smash out a few alphas but seemed to get frustrated with kites and general traffic, safety bay summer all over again.
Picked up a 2009 Iso W44 Speed Special last week so decided to break it in with a few runs with the cr 6.7 (1m larger than recommened). Turned out they recommend 5.5 max for a reason. Felt like a water ski with a sail on it.........until i turned down wind. First time on a speed board. Loved it. No resistance and ultra stabble. Look forward to 25 knt day with a smaller sail.
Fun day in all, just slightly under cooked........always tomorrow!!Hope the wind kicks
