Nice little sail after work, wind looked like it was kinda up and down so being a lazy basket I rigged the 7.8m.
First run (without any adjustments) sailed my first run across to Claudesville with a good solid breeze all the way across, unfortunately without getting the set up dialed in better I was feeling the pain, was a bit hard on the way back as it felt like I was almost heading back straight into the wind, I know I was pretty much hting the chop straight on.
The run back was hurting due to poor settings, got within 100m of the sand bar and my front leg gave out and down I went. A few tweeks later and of I went again, much nicer, as the biys were down in Alpha land going around corners rapidly I thought I'd do some tuning experimentation with boom hieght and moving mast base back, free'd up the board nicely but increased cavitation, but was worthwhile playing around.
At times I could have been quite happy with a 7 or smaller, But still happy as it was a fun little session
