Virtually no wind when I arrived, but rigged the Severne Reflex 7.0 on the Starboard iSonic 107 with C3 42cm Sting II, hoping that the wind might come in and I could change down to the iSonic 86.  Very squally, so water was quite flat when the bullets came through.  Had a few great little runs, bearing off deep in the squalls, and managing comfortable 35 and 36 knot runs.  Wind picked up further making for choppier conditions, so changed down to the iSonic 86 and pipped my top speed just a little with another 36+ run.  Hadn't been out since Henty, so great to get a good sail in, especially considering how bad it looked to start with (dogging along for ages).  All of the kit felt fantastic, especially the 107.

Great to see about 10 sailors out on a wet Thursday afternoon.

Arrrg forgot to comment on my above post. Wicked sail at Dorans on the Isonic 107, Reflex 2 7.8 and 40cm Sting. Wind came in super windy but super gusty. First powered up sail on the new Reflex 2 and its awesome. Felt really stable and never overpowered, wind was gusting to 30 knots (maybe). Well done to Buzzy and Dave who both did around 36 knots. Dave that was a brilliant effort getting around 36 knots on the  107.
