Kyeemagh 12-18 NE Gusting around 20ish

Starboard S-Type 126, Loft Switchblade 8.5, 40cm Talon

First sail for three weeks - it turned out better than was forecast. Nice sail with Dave and Troy and Berowne later on. (an 8.6 on a 91l slalom? How does that work?!?!)

Ridiculous.

Who'd have thought you can ride a Excocet 91L with a Loft Racing Blade 8.6m?

 

ME ! It's like a speed board for a 5.5. Well it sinks like one. 1 vertical metre of sail underwater when I tried to uphaul it in an appauling 5kt lull.

Good to see Ric, Remi, Michael, and a whole bunch a blokes out having fun in the gusts.

I also took my kids along and another family for a bit of fun in the sun.

Recently Acquired Loft 8.6 Racing Blade 2011. Thanks Vando.

Excocet 91L for peak speeds. Also used Drops 165L formula board (circa 1935). 25 kts felt fast on that. And scary.

35cm S7 was best, 39cm was too much on the ankle. Formula fin 60cm.

Looked like being a good arvo but the wind came in and left, came in and left etc. just cruising with Marty, Chris etc.

Nice arvo on the water though, never got above 13-15 knots. managed a 29.09 in one lucky gust. A few punters out with sun, blue skies, sea eagles and a very late cameo from Millsy. We feel sorry for Mick, Pete etc Sealed

Falcon 121, 7.8 RSR Evo III, 40 Talon.

st george sailing club, dash for cans, from the club you sail over to towra where a tent is waiting for you full of beer,prawns & chicken have a few beer;s some prawns & go for a sail & go back for more all afternoon the trick is to sail a formula board with a 10m2 sail (nathan had an 11m2 ) back down the river in a 18kt noreaster & arun out tide   with out drowing !!!!!!!!

Kyeemagh  NNE 10-18 knots

JP Slalom Pro VIII  North Warp F2012 8.6  Tectonics Talon 44

 

Went down to St George Sailing Club to see all the drunk prawn eaters.

Possibly the worst sail ever. Outgoing tide with in coming NNE ........MOGULS !!!!!!!! wind swinging 30 degrees 5 -18 knots.

1st run on my new (well 2nd hand, thanks Vando) racing blade 8.6 on 91L excocet. Trace includes trip to carpark to change fins.

 

1st run on new to me loft racing blade 8.6

Blade on Formula. Good in the lulls, scary! in the gusts.

racing blade on formula

 

And finally, back on 91L board. scary when it sinks and the lulls are so low you can't fly the sail. urgh. Don't ride what you can't stand on I suggest.

91L with 8.6M
