Melville Beach, WA, AU

Huge turn out for a wet cold and wind 'shifty' wintery day. A full carpark with all the usual suspects present. It felt like hard work today but well worth sticking it out. Started on a 40cm fin as conditions seemed marginal but eventually field in with multiple fronts coming through. Changed down to a 38cm midway through and probably could have gone smaller in some of the squalls but too lazy. Still defrosting an hour 'shower" later.

Seems like the best wind was between 1 and 2 after that was a bit on and off. Canmore still works.  Might buy a second one as a backup.  Was rained on while derigging and the inside of my car is soaked but it was worth it.  

Anita glad you could join the fun later in the day.

a lot of thoughts about today-

should have rigged the 7.5 again

cold, wet, gusty, shifty, miserable and uninviting - not a top 10 Melville day

we are either crazy or desperate for a thrill...

but it is always good to catch up with the crew and to see Chris P for the first time in ages

third session this week so can't complain too much

got a good workout at least

I struggled to get comfortable today, and I struggled to get my cams to flip. New sail. Tried reducing batten tension, altering downhaul, adding outhaul  - got closer but the cams still needed a kick to get them over. Might need a KA mast for this sail I think - the right mast made all the difference for my 5.4Koncept. Anyone have a 430 SDM KA mast I could try?

Got there a bit late so may have missed some of the  best. Nice to catch up with the regulars and even managed to time the rain so I was in and out of it.

Nice cruise on the big gear at Melville. Only just enough breeze.

Congratulations Ken on two very nice PBs. It was not easy sailing out there. Some of those gybes are looking good. You've beaten my alpha PB already Embarassed

Try to park your car nose into the wind so it doesn't get wet inside when packing up - a bit hard today as the windward side of the carpark was full at times. I moved mine when a space became available.

Well done guys on improving our hour and distance in less than ideal conditions.

Cheers, Ive been gybing away everytime I go out but I might try to improve on my nautical mile and 1 hour a bit more.

I think it was more a case of rain drenched sail and equipment dripping onto the seats.Yell
