Herby (14385km):
4657 days ago Lake George, SA, AU ...WooHoo.... A PB. First sail at Lake George. First session on my 5.9m Loft 02 which is my smallest sail, apart from a 4.5. wave sail. Luckilly Decrepid lent me a weed fin or I would have been buggered. Unfitness and old age caused me to be soon overpowered so I came in. Mike was changing down so he let me use his 5.3m sail and I had another session and got my PB. Cam had told me about the conditions here and he was spot on. Mal Faulkner and Mike were having a ball. The wind was from the north so we never went to spit, but I think wind will swing to South tomorrow, so we will drive the rough road. all told there were 9 carloads of sailors today. Used my Gunny Runner with a 24 weed fin.

Finally got the correct mast for this sail after using a Naish mast for the last year or so. Spent most of the session figuring out the settings, quite different and feels a lot different now too. With about 2cm more downhaul it still sets deeper in the lower half and with more twist up top; and the loose leech twists off much smoother whereas before it would kind of flop around if I used this much downhaul, unless in a strong gust.
