24 May 2005
(machine translated in 2023) Another day at sea, forecast had unfortunately already become less than the previous forecasts of 20 kts. Wind was therefore disappointing. 5.9 was often just too small. But that was offset by the Skate's width. It plans on for so long. And sometimes the wind was too much for a 5.9. So the wind was downright lousy, but it was very nice. Frank was sailing his 2005 FPD 6.2 Race for the 2nd time. Nice sail.

(machine translated in 2023) With this bad wind, the Skate gets away very well. You can sail much more and better than with narrower boards. The 25cm was sometimes a bit small when the wind was less. Right-hand spears for full practice. Also did some rail-grabs. |
