Sammy the snail (29353km): LG - Life is Good -Day 6 - 5-20knts Heaps of fun with all the crews playing around I knew you guys will have the wind for the speed, so I tried to help in HR (gave up wind too gusty), so I focussed on Kkks and I tried some Alpha, I saw a 35 on the screen mid arvo so I thought was enough to don't look too stupid End of day the water glassed up and wind became more stable, by then I was done. Hope my contribution help the team , coz Im faked! Misty55, RSR5.8, mxr24 - guuuud stuff | ||||||||||||||||||
evets (21500km): Lilacs JP45sp 20MXRweedy RSREIII6.2 then JP54 MXR24 6.2 for a few alphas Fun sail at lilacs, first couple of runs were fastest, tried a few alphas at the end to back up Elmo and Mike but arms too tired to hook in. two 35+ miles were fun, needed more wind at the right angle. Loadsa people again, a great day. Stroppo very happy, well done on the pbs mate, Lilacs can be quite good! Just created a 5*NM for my own pleasure, today I did 5 NM runs, first was fastest and they kept getting slower. 5x NM 34.23kts.
Tide too low for me to run over the flat stuff and also to cross the sandbars so entry and exit from the NMs slow.

ratz (10868km): Another epic lilacs session Started out on the seven reflex but it soon became a bit of a handful. So changed down to the 6.2 and was very comfortable on this. A swag of pbs from all today so very happy with the day. Used a carbon art sp50 with a 17 delta and a 7.0 then a 6.2 Severne reflex 3. | ||||||||||||||||||
Hardie (35848km): Sensational weekend down at Albany, Tabou Manta 54, TR-9 6.3m Pepeweed 21/48degree, Congratz to Steve, Decrepit and Ratz on the sensational NM's!!!!!!! Leg felt too weak to try NM's or Alphas, sorry guyz, but it was up for speed woohoo thats a PB on that Board,, not up to the speed board yet | ||||||||||||||||||
Elmo (31613km): Tabou Rocket wide 108L & JP weed 31, Tabou Manta 64 & Elmo/Pepe Silver wahoo 60º 17cm, NP RSR Eiii 7.0m
One of those days today Rocket has a leak following prang yesterday Mast broke (fortunately on shore) Sail looked like it had a couple of weak creases touched them found they magically turned into holes upon contact with my finger. (Edit) forgot about a devil fish sting in ech foot Got destroyed by an old cripple Wind kicked to the next level after I got of the water And the most painful of all I missed a 26.068 Alpha by 190mm, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Other than that it was a fantastic sail. Hat's of to all those who got PB's this weekend Strop in particular with his mental hour probabley would have cracked a 30 if he hadn't waved to everyone he went breezing by to those that though about the trip and flagged it...... Started out on a seriously low tide with the bigger board for the hour but the runs were a lot shorter due to the lack of water, still it was fun even with dropping 3 gybes and most embarrassingly missing the back footstrap (as well as the back of the board) and doing the chicken wish bone trick. After the hour I decided to go to the smaller bard as I wanted to test one of my experimental fins, which worked a treat, abrasion resist coating was excelent. Unfortunately After going for "one more run" half a dozen times I got of the water at 1300 an hour later than planned, back at the cabin I couldn't help it and checked data on KA72 which gave me a happy dance. The dance must have worked as the wind really started kicking after that, unfortunately I had my wee comute home.
Once again Congrats to all out there.
Probably my last sail down at Albany as I don't have the bottle for the shallow water anymore, shame this is my Nº1 flat water spot, the place rocks with such a consistant wind. | ||||||||||||||||||
Decrepit (54753km): Another fantastic lilacs day. Raining pbs' more later Well enough energy has returned to jot down some basic details. Started off doing an hour with Elmo but made a bit of a hash of it. Tried keefs 17cm deltoid in the 53 with the 5.8 koncept. Too choppy through the bay kept spinning out, so changed to my 20cm 55deg super weedy. Still spinning out a it in the chop, should have done what Elmo did, and used a conventional 45deg weedy and stayed out of the thick weed. About half an hour in to it, had a big collision with something unseen, no fin damage, but I had a big pitch over the front. Started hour again, but stuffed a few gybed, couldn't raise the enthusiasm to start yet again. Came in for a break and changed to the 43cm board with the 48deg 18cm weedy. Felt much more comfortable on this, so went for some alphas and nm's. After lunch I changed sails to the 5.4koncept, I think this gave me my best speeds. Sooo many big grins today, think I'll remember Elmo's alpha pb war dance for a while, also Cheryl's huge grin at the end of her nm run, and nothing could top strops excitement when we crunched his numbers. Here's my tracks, not much of the inner pond unsailed. Sausage you can see although I'm bearing off at the start speed takes a while to build up, the weed there is fairly heavy, but taking off so far around does allow to be going full speed once out of the heavier weed. |
