Autumn has set in...balaclava dug out rom the bottom of the box!  Enjoyable sail on the Isonic 86..gusty which unfortunately left me floundering at times during the hour session.

After being prompted thought why not do an hour? So i fell in the trap! I haven't managed to sail for distance or hour for a very long time but i thought lets give it a go hands must be ok by now..... So went out slogged for about 5 minutes then wind kicked in a bit, but very squally no problems with set up very comfy to honest just needed a tad more wind. After 30 minutes i knew i was doing ok so adrenaline was kicking in a bit, maybe to much my hour partner was on my case so dropped 2 gybes, then a small squall and no more partner decided to finish the hour for my own needs and happy with result!

No other Pirates out in the Harbour.  Should have come down earlier..but was hoping that Overcombe would be working at low tide.  Heard you had done a good hour...so went out on a biggest board and comfortable sail..which turned out to be too comfortable at times!!  Scored my best mile this year..that sure felt lairy over the back of the chop!!

Lol if you were close enough you would have heard the swearing and seen the punching of the board, you may have not wanted to try and keep up?

But thanks anyway weird with cams never heard of that before is that a design fault with HSM?
