It was one of those days when the wall was giving significantly more than the real wind near the shore. The visability was quite low so I couldnt see what to rig, ended up following the wall and rigged a bit too small. Was fine across the wind but nothing really to bear off with, then the water drained and the wind picked up.

Getting used the the sails a bit more, and now know the lower limit for the 7.3. I think a little less downhaul would have meant quicker planing after the gybes today, all too often I had nothing after the gybe unless I gybed in the middle of the run where there was more wind.
