Pepe47 (7101km):  6.6m koncept, 115 rocket, 37cm wector veedie. Bit of a blast at novara, luckily the wind showed up a little later. | ||||||||||||||||||
Decrepit (22059km):  6 categories       Similar day to yesterday, but more N in the wind, very close to side shore at 5 mile drift so launched from there about 1430. Same gear as yesterday, 53, 6.0 and 25.5 @ 35/45 rake Issac hit the water a bit in front of me, Herby wasn't far behind. Nice smooth sailing lightly powered most of the time. Then I managed to fluke a very nice gust a long way downwind of the gap between the islands, and much to my surprise it just held up for a poofteenth over the NM, So nice doing 30knts on that glassy water between the Islands, but the 25cm 35/45 raked fin was starting to feel that thick weed close to the surface, a pure 45 probably would have been a bit faster. On the way out, I was pointing as high as possible to stay away from the downwind Island, and I noticed a guy at the end of the point waving to me, almost distracted me from seeing the couple of black things sticking out of the water. I discovered later it was PJ trying to warn me away from them, should really have stopped and tacked over to the other side I guess, but was a bit worried about getting going again in the thick weed.
Was stoked to see the NM result, wasn't sure if I'd gone far or fast enough to crack the 30. After that the wind started to die, gusts were weaker and lulls got longer. Not sure if it was better earlier, maybe we were a bit late?? | ||||||||||||||||||
Elmo (15665km):  Tabou Thunder 80cm, NP RSR Eiii 7.8m, Elmo +10º 39cm I needed That After a week of trying to get a short deadline contract done whist moaning and groaning with my first Lurgi for the year, wanted to go aout again and work on the waistline (and fitness) and have another crack at an hour. Wind looked flukey in comparison to the forecast, out on the water there were some massive holes which took a bit of effort to surf and glide through, very happy with not actually dropping of the plane on any runs. Very surprised to see a 21 for the hour was expecting at best a 19. Should have rigged an 8.6 at least and a larger fin would have helped but fun all the same, would have kept going but the wind died altogether. Nice way to end the week, hopefully I've sweated some of the snot out. Well Naughty Naughty Mike | ||||||||||||||||||
