Formula 159 KAR 8.7 Lyds custom 58cm?

Looked fantastic on arrival but died before Lyds and I could get on the water. Hung around in vain hope but not to be. Pretty depressing session. This sport is tough going at the moment.

5-12kts W then patch of 15-18kts for 1/2hr  Peel st Budgy

7.8m OD - 115Xcross 22cm delta Xt

7.8mOD - 89ltre falcon - 18cm delta

Spent 3 hrs odd to get about 1hr 15 decent sailing. Forgot my fins! Surprised Thanks Gareth & Milsy for the loan. Smile

Was a gusty c 15kts when I first went out but the delta was too big / didn't handle the subplaning bits and picked up bucketloads of weed so I had to keep stopping to clean it off. Worked my way out to stay out of the flats but by then the wind had died.

 Came in for something to eat and it came in 15-18kts.. plugged the 89ltre in and back out. Good except the older 18cm delta kept letting go whenever a gust came and I went to bear off..Yell

 Some fun runs but would have been more comfortable and got upwind better with a 7m.  I'm a bit wary of flying into the shallows at the moment and I suppose I didn't bear off much but my speeds have been woeful lately..Undecided

 Earlier I did a nice slow subplaning catapult as the delta ran out of water.. Smile Too chicken to try and gybe in close so resorted to just turning the board around.

Only me then Wayne & Milsy. By the time Gareth got set up it was gone.

Overnight I was wondering why I wasn't over the moon with catching some wind and planing ..I realised I was catching weed all day - bucketfulls with the 22 cm delta and weed moustaches with the 18cm and the board felt glued to the water.. I've got to find a 16-17cm fin that holds the 7.8m is shallow and doesn't catch weed Undecided Not asking much..Wink

Then it will be really fun! Tongue out

 I wonder if you could cut down a  20cm Bp 50weedspeed? Tongue out

That custom "Lyds fin" is working well, i might need it back if you keep beating me, BUT Titanic is getting heavier everyday - I need my 137 Cool

Sue you just need to buy a kestral fin for each board and just use those that way you want have any problems
