21 May 2004
(machine translated in 2023) Wind came earlier today than yesterday, but was also much gustier and also less strong. And unfortunately had to stop again at 16:00. Hans and Jurjen were also there, but Jurjen did not sail and Hans walked in the bandage, arm out of the socket.

Sail: | Arrows Tomahawk 6.8 - Arrows Ultimate Move 460cm - Arrows Ultimate Race 190-240 | |
(machine translated in 2023) Wind seemed to pick up and was looking forward to a day of speed. Thommen with 6.8 rigged, seemed small, and also turned out to be too small. Only the gusts were strong enough. |

(machine translated in 2023) Been tearing up with the 8.1, also practicing with a higher boom, but that did not give better speed and cost with this wind with a lot of upwind. In the bouts it was hard work. The trim system is also very good, especially in this kind of gusty wind. |

(machine translated in 2023) Wind seemed to pick up and I almost had to leave. Thommen with 6.8 was still on the side so I would like to give it a try. Better than at the beginning of the day but still too little wind. |
