How good was that!!!

At last they didn't lie (as much) in the forcast. Just nice 8-15 knots E E/NE.

We actually put a couple of buoys out to simulate racing (while we didnt).

Real good to see Byron and Murray sailing up and show us the way..nice to see lan, Barry, Mick,Murray,  Byron,Bruce, Tom,John and Lyndon all sailing together.  Maybe next time we'll get more foilers up from the south?!?

Exocet RF91, TR8 7.6, Starboard Race 900 - Wind ENE 12-15 knots

Perfect foiling conditions, sunny, warm and a nice seabreeze.  Good to see stacks of people on the water and even practice some upwind/downwind today with a couple of marks.  The NM includes a semi-foiling gybe, so pretty happy with that.

Covered some of the lake today, retreated to Marmong for shelter and a couple of informal laps around the cans.

Belmont was nasty on the return, well overdone

Stingray. Whisperer and 5.5m

Big NE and lots out. Yachts everywhere. Headed up to Marmong, but a bit patchy up there, loads of wind in Belmont bay.

Unfortunately Hugh had an off and has done some damage to his foot. Fingers crossed not too serious.

10-18kts then building to 20-25kts E- NE Coal Point, NSW, AU

 Sailed 1.44pm - 4.12pm

7m NCX - WT57- 34WT weedy 

 then 5m Gator -WT57 - 34 weedy

then 5m - WT85 waveboard - 20cm cntre fin

If this is La Nina bring it on! Started patchy 10-18kts , built to 20kts then 20-25kts. A summer strength NE in spring.Tongue out

 1st test of the WT57 ( 90ltres)..Perfect day for it, messy chop with c 40-50 yachts having an interclub race above the point..

Great board forgiving but felt bleedin fast..nothing like flying fully powered over the backs of chop..felt much faster than it was. Not a bad nm for the conditions and hopefully I'll improve as I get used to it.. Gybes were crapola..Undecided

 I need a gybe refesher session..though it was very messy..Wink

Started out a bit underpowered except for the gusts . the board is a much better fit for my size so I could get into the back strap earlier than the big one which was good in the messy chop. Went through the yacht races a few times and hardly noticed the wake etc..it would have been horrendous on a slalom board..Frown

Few full on runs past the point, the last one was getting too much for the 7m so came in and rigged the little sail.That was fully maxed  by the time I got back out.

 Only one run with the 5m on the WT57. it was well behaved but the board was getting too much for some of the 90cm ramps and I needed a smaller fin. I could have added more tail flex but I figured it was time for the waveboard..

Only one run on that too. It was great but I'd been out for 2.30hrs and was pretty stuffed so I figured I'd stop before I started stacking it..( which would have been nasty that powered up)..

 The last run I realised I hadn't done up the leg straps on the seat harness so I dropped in the water to fix them. the RMS boat came and plonked itself about 15m downwind of me..I thought it was checking if i was ok. I yelled out I was . It was in a bad spot for me to start . I only just got up and managed to bear off in the space he gave me without drifting onto it.

 I noticed him checking out the other sailors later so they are checking whether you are wearing a floatation vest.

 Still bouncing..Tongue outTongue out

Andrew , Byron , John , Cohen , Hugh on the foils then Byron , Lajos , Hugh , Michael on fins..

 Hope Hugh's foot isn't too bad..

 No graph as the Newcastle one is down.

Pics of yesterday. the foiling ones were early when it was 10-18/20kts. The fin 20 plus. Most of the wind was over at the sand islands or above the point not straight in front of Coal.

I've seen  Byron do high fully foiling gybes . this is just what I captured..
