2649 days ago 12-18kts SSE -SE Lake George, SA, AU
6.2m - 87ltre - 20cm FF
then 38cm BP50weedspeed
Under rigged.. Looked at Robe stats and it said 14-19kts ( great 6.2m! ) looked 5 mins later 14-16kts.. Oh well I'll leave the 6.2m on as it generally kicks in better later...It finally got good after 3 hrs on the water..
Got a 20cm demo FF to try. Fangy said it needs to be powered up to point and i knew it wasn't ideal but I figured the shallow fin would get through the weed better..
Not fun..It went well in the few powered gusts but there weren't enough of them and I struggled to get back..I'll try it in a powered up 80ltre session..
Put the 38 BP50 weedspeed on.
I didn't intend to do distance but I had clocked some up so kept going. That's the most solid sailing I've done..4.30hrs with only 2 stops of 5 mins to change fins and eat something..
I hit bottom about 4 times mid gybe and went over the front..didn't hurt myself though..
Sailed from 2-6.30..I thought I couldn't go much more but I feel ok today.I was the lst one left out on the lake so I thought i had better come in in case something went wrong..I'm not sure if it's getting flatter or it was just less wind but the lake is getting nice and flat..
Think I need a fun sail..I'm a bit over pushing myself..
