Ondanks de ki=ou en regen wel een leuke sessie, uurtje eerder weg op het werk en toen 2 uurtjes lekker gevaren tot ik te veel last van mijn arm kreeg. Setje voelt wel lekker aan maar blijkbaar komt er niet echt snelheid uit.  maar de cijfertjes bepalen de fun van een sessie gelukkig niet...

Those crazy Swedes :-)

Henrick Schill is here for his new board. We have talked a lot about the Swedish way to speedsail so we could get a better understanding to develop a series for flat water. Ron designed a 58 for 7.0 and down. We were lucky enough to get a light/medium wind day on the verge of being strong enough for the board. I sailed with some Swedish settings amongst them an 8.5 on the 63 Carbon Art. A combo which we don't use while we are sailing in similar conditions.

First of all the NP 8.6 felt really sweet in combination with the Hurricane Weed 28. I now understand better just how the Norhtern crew succeds in riding such strange combo's (just an opionion of course :-). I feel the translation Ron and I were after is working and although I wasn't fully focussed on the day ranking I still managed some good average speeds on the different set I used. I set nearly the same speeds on the CA63 and 8.6 as on the USM 58 with the Simmer 7.0. 7.8 was clearly the size today and I am happy with the way our speedfin works. Even in light wind light today it's already a match against upright fins.
