25 March 2006
(machine translated in 2023) Finally the frost is gone and you can sail again. Wind forecast dropped further and further, but in the end we still got a lot of wind. A lot of acquaintances on the side. Even Patrick came to take a look.

(machine translated in 2023) I should have taken my 5.3, with trim on/over max it was still too big in the gusts. In the dips I could still plan easily while the rest remained stationary. Even though the Disco often felt overpowered, the FSW was all control. Bit jumped, but couldn't do a lot of crazy things with an oversized sail. |

(machine translated in 2023) After sailing with the JP, I caught the Sputnik again... GPS along and go. The 28cm gave a lot of pressure, think I might even have been able to sail with the Lightning 26. Speed was good 55.5km/h max and a 10sec average of 52.2km/h. |
