Great couple of days speedsailing at West Kirby. it was nice to see all the boys and Jacques and Wouter who had made the trip over from Holland. it was a shame the wind did not really come through on the first day but today definatley made up for it.  

Everything was good for me today my 5.0m evo felt awesome..  Speeds seemed really easy to get and i couldnt beleive the numbers on my GPS after the first run 45.99 peak & 44 10 sec, then i couldnt get back to the start of the course quick enough to make another run. i think if we had rigged and got out a bit earlier a higher average speed could have been had for sure. 

Super happy with my pb's.

The second day at WK.  Not the best start to the day with a 2 hour oversleep!  the first time I'd slept till 8.30 since before I has children 4 years ago!  By the time I got on the water at 9.30 everybody had alreay nailed their fasted runs for the day.  Spent the rest of the day playing catchup but you can't those runs back or make it blow harder.

Spent time trying different boards including Fanatic 44, Custom Moo 42.

Kingsbridge estuary, wind didn't play ball today, a bit too square and with holes in it,session ended too soon when Simon Thomson(the only other sailor out) had his mast break so had to trudge back to Kingsbridge before the tide had turned!

Always better than a good day at work.

Excellent sailing guysCoolCool

Do you sail back to the top of your runs or walk back? How long does that take between runs?

Hi, Today at west kirby the angle was quite square so we was able to walk a short distance then sail the rest of the way back to the start of the course.. Probably 2-3 mins
