(machine translated in 2023) In the beginning the 4.7 at minus trimmed because it didn't seem to blow really hard. But soon the sail tightened a few times, to even just over max. The wind kept increasing and after 19:30 it was actually blowing too hard for a 4.7 with gusts up to 32 kts. But in the beginning it was wonderful to sail, only golf driving just didn't quite go, you had to be too spacious to get on the waves properly. Towards the end also made a hard fall. With my ribs on the boom, probably slightly bruised. |
