Canton Beach, NSW, AU 10-15kt SW || 118 Manta 8.4TR 40 Gun Weed Control

Only light to moderate but consistant enough. Didn't mind too much 'cause finally I got to take my new TR for a proper hit out!

Pre-sail I filed back the cam grooves a little which now allows for quite easy rotation. Very enjoyable sail. A bit on the heavy side when sub-planing, but once it gets going, quite light. Regardless of any gust or lull you pretty much keep planing at the same speed. A deep solid camber and very stable.

It rigs easy. About 1 or 2cm past downhaul spec felt spot on. Ran it with a 2011 Maui hardtop mast, which while not officially ideal still did perfectly fine. Thanks to Remi at thewindsurfingshed.com.au

First try also of the 40 Gun Weedie which held on rock solid, allowed for really early planing and only touched the bottom in one or two spots the whole morning. From the windsurfingshop.com.au/ Cheers Gareth.

Perhaps marginally less weed but still very flat. Nice sunny morning shared with Gareth, Salty, Wayno and Pugs. Fingers crossed for a windy July...
