Jumping fun, too choppy for slalom kit - for me that is.

Got a nice mile in the end. Swags went in early he got tired bless him, and the poor camel turned up late then snapped his boom clean in two.

Hope swags or Ian if he got out can back the mile up.

First time out on the 33 GAS fin...works well with the Isonic 86!!  Fastest @500 this year, but should have gone with a bigger sail, as off the plane as much as on!
Pirate's Big Guns out again... trying to up the mile average. Not easy in a Southerly.

Isonic 86  Warp 5.4m

Finished early meet El Barnacle (The Matrix) Tried for a Nm but horrible conditions for it, so sailed upwind to try for some speed and Alpha's.

Succeeded on the Alpha not bad @ all tried another Nm on the way god that felt good manged to get 32 Knots on the display in the middle of the harbour and felt like i could go quicker so much control for once but hit a lull and then the chop got very sharp and confused.

Got my eye on young talent in the harbour as well may have to get him on board soon.

Fantastic miles! Will need to find out where you did them, saw you go into the corner at the inn once, which is where I ended up after my downhaul rope broke. Managed to rig enough to slog into the corner and then walk back. Embarassed Good thing it did it in the only wind that would get me so close to the shore.

Great team effort..and a brilliant mile run Pete (again as darkness fell). 

Lea..invest in 3.8mm formuline for downhaul rope. Virtually unbreakable and has a very low coefficient of friction.

Steve...hope the shoulder is not too sore.  Didn't see the crash but your gear smashing description is one of nightmares!

Swagger..congratulations on the mile PB.

Where can I get a spool of line, after 69sessions so far this year I may as well get it in bulk, especially as the north xt extension is now a thing of the past. I only realised tonight that I had spare downhaul in the back of my harness! I was using my old waist harness today and totally forgot about it in the back pocket as the seat has no pocket.

 

Steve, was that the new boom you were telling me about, I hope not!
