GT7.0, XFire102, Rockit32/MUFDelta22_G10fillet/MUFDelta22_carbon/VectorDelta27. Melville. More wind than expected, but the wind sirens tempted me to rig the 7, when the 8.1 may have been the better choice. Still, an entertaining session trying out some different fins - thanks to Joe and Ian (the fin magician). Seems that filleting the deltas does improve "grip" and makes for easier progress upwind. Wasn't the day (nor the rider, really) to draw conclusions about top end.

Foilville, Ym 91, Star Race foil, R8 7.0, Didnt want to miss the wind again so headed down early today. Fairly light at the start but built up to 12 to 15. Still very gusty with large holes. A bit more playing with set up with the new foil. Definitely loves going upwind and deep off the wind. Cross wind can be bit of a handful. Very impressed overall with the handling of the startboard foil. You can just point it anywhere and it just cranks :)))))))))))))

Darryl. Sail size may have been the same, but there was a subtle difference in board size (and let's not even mention fin lengthWink)!
