fangy (22667km):  Fangyland with the Scud for an arvo of spring time goodness. Not much wind, but nice to be back on the still very fresh water. I got to try out my latest thought bubble of a fin. It's based on a NACA 16009. The fin is short and fat with the thickest chord section close to halfway back. The fin was pretty well spot on the money for expectations - it behaved very benignly in the chop and seemed to be slippery enough across the breeze. It didn't manage to provide much windward lift and The Scud carved me up big time on the uphill stuff with his FF28. I think the fin will be a good starting point for a light wind/big sail shallow water fin and I am keen to try it out with some proper bear away action to assess its speed credentials properly Party Barge 310, Avalon 8.4, FF22 (16 series proto)

waricle (17673km):  1 categories  Glory Holes, Australind, WA, AU CA66 KAR7.1 fangy 24. A big crowd of locals and visitors from both north and south converged in what promises to be the start of a great season at Australind. A lowish tide meant smaller weedies were needed in the smooth shallow water. Apart from about 20 minutes of good breeze we were mostly just cruising on the light/medium breeze. Flex was on a distance mission and was relentless. I watched while I had coffee and cake. I'm the one guilty of killing the good breeze when I changed down to the Mistral Speed. The breeze did come back when I de-rigged for the day. Worth the trip just to catch up with all the guys. | ||||||||||||||||||
Decrepit (54500km):  Ideal conditions for Glory holes, except for the wind! Had a couple of OK gusts and one overpowered one. Most of the time lightlu powered or wallowing. Rigged the 6.2, 55cm board, and made the big mistake of plugging in the 26@45 weedy./ First run grounded it, went over the handlebars, boom craked the nose and my knee split the bottom panel of the 6.2.. Great to see plenty of weed and some actual real smooth stuff. Really enjoyed that! Nice crew out, the pinnas were going for distance, and I think they made their objective, Flex is a machine, he just didn't stop. Waricle and I made up the MM contingent, and there were others I don't know.
