AHD 85 wide with 7.8M Lightning

The wind slowly built up & I was nicely powered up & getting in the groove when I felt something let go, figured it was the boom so headed straight in but 100 metres out kaboom, she let go completelyFrown

Back to the car & get another boom & continue on.

Started to get maxed out on the big board so dropped down to the Exocet Cross 104L with a 38cm Vector.

Just getting this combo dialed in & kaboom, but this time it's a mastFrown

The 7.8m sail now has 3 panels blown out as wellFrown

Rigged a 6.5M for Annie so I could steal the 7.0M off her but the wind had dropped off by then.

All in all not a real bad daySmile

CR 8.1; RRD X-F 102; Drake 40 @melville.beach.wa.au

Pleasant second sail for the month of May...usual suspects there. Pity the wind died off rather than the forecast increase...

Scotty and I were by our lonesome, when the world descended on the beach! Hard Work but fun day.

I-sonic 150, O/D 8.5, Select 54

Futura 111, Lightning 7.8, Canfire 7.8

 

Hard work on the I-sonic, not enough wind then too much! Came in for lunch and changed down to the 7.8, but by then the wind was all but goneCry

 

Good to see Graceman down at the beach, not long mate you'll be back and a light wind specialist to boot!Cool

Thanks Nelson and Annie for the technology tips - everything seems to be working now.

Hmmm...technology...tricky thing that! Was it the technology of booms and masts that Nelson gave tips on?

Sorry I missed Graceman too...would have been nice to have caught up.
