(machine translated in 2023) Not much wind was expected, but it should still be enough, and the Grevelingendam is not too far away either.
Grevelingendam
Present: Hans (Hansie), Jurjen, Martijn (Volvosurfer)14:00 | 1.25 hour | Wind: W/NW |
---|---|---|
Board: | HTS Super Fast M - Select Lightning Evo 45cm | |
Sail: | North R-Type 7.5 - North Viper 75 460cm - Arrows Ultimate Race 190-240 | |
(machine translated in 2023) The 7.5 seemed to be on the small side, but it should be possible, just to be sure the 45cm Lightning put underneath. In the beginning I was able to plan fairly easily, but the wind subsided and I could still plan with difficulty. The R-Type does not disappoint me yet, light and very manageable. Planed very nicely through wind holes. |

Board: | HTS Super Fast M - Select Superfast 45cm | |
Sail: | Arrows Dragster 8.5 - Arrows Ultimate Race 490cm - Arrows Ultimate Race 190-240 | |
(machine translated in 2023) Now more than enough power in the sail, do not trim at max, but could easily plan. After a while the fin seemed to become too small for the sail so the Drops screwed under it. |

Board: | HTS Super Fast M - Drops Alex Aguera 46cm | |
Sail: | Arrows Dragster 8.5 - Arrows Ultimate Race 490cm - Arrows Ultimate Race 190-240 | |
(machine translated in 2023) The Drops fin gives much more lift than the Lightning and the Superfast 45cm. But even that doesn't deliver enough to walk at a nice height in low winds. Just looking for 49cm.. |
