(machine translated in 2023) Finally another wind. Not really a sun, but constant wind all day.

Present: Ronald (RonVo)12:15 | 4.5 hour | Wind: W/SW 18/23 kts |
---|---|---|
Board: | Mistral Naish Hawaii 8'5" - Pro-Am SideShore 24cm | |
Sail: | North Instinct 5.3 - North Viper 75 430cm - Arrows Weapon Xtreme 175-225 | |
(machine translated in 2023) On the side I doubted whether the 5.3 would be big enough, but I wanted to wet it. fin set far in the back and mast foot far forward and We'll see. Once in the water the sail tightened considerably because it was still on the large side. Board was very fast and didn't really want to turn short, this is probably because the fin was so far in the back. Furthermore, things went quite well at sea, the first gybes did not go well, but that slowly got better. This was a wonderful day, just having to shelter for half an hour from a heavy thunderstorm. |
