Finally a bit of wind again in the weekend.
Unfortunately, east wind, but with a clear blue sky and many acquaintances on the water, very nice.

If you know what you can and can't do with those Lightning Evo's they are great. Set runs nicely, full in the wind in the middle bit much, but still to do. Go over the water in a relaxed way. Miss some speed compared to. Hans and Jurjen with Race sailing. The Natural just isn't that fast. But gybed like a dream. |

Martijn's Hypersonic tested with his "new" Warp II. Nice sail. I think he lacks the speed of a 100%. The XC60 is just not a Viper.. After a few raks tuning I was able to sail quite nicely. Not as easy as my Super Fast, but height walking does this thing great. |

Hans wanted to try my Super Fast M. I used his Titan 110L. Sails nicely, runs nice and free, but is certainly harder to sail than my Super Fast. With my 7.5 I barely got planing, while with the Super Fast it was a matter of going downwind and pump twice and I was planing. No I have to watch out for Hans, he absolutely loves the Super Fast. |
