(machine translated in 2023) After some phone calls with Martijn and Patrick decided to visit Patrick on the Oesterdam, there would be wind. Travel time wasn't too bad. In 50 minutes I was at the water. It was quite busy, wind was strong when I arrived, everyone came to the side to change sail.
Oesterdam

(machine translated in 2023) When getting on, the hard, like a spear away, was a quick search for recognition on the water. Nice chop that was pretty good to jump on. After a few raks, the wind subsided more and more and it became more and more difficult to get into Plane. Wind turned to West and almost completely disappeared. What a pity. |
16:00 | 1 hour | Wind: W/SW |

Board: | HTS Super Fast M - Hurricane SRA 44cm | |
Sail: | Gaastra GTX 7.5 - Arrows Ultimate Race 490cm - Arrows Ultimate Race 190-240 | |
(machine translated in 2023) Patrick was present, who let them help with trimming the sail. With a few centimeters more Downhaul, the cambers just flip over. Now the sail works well. Wind was actually just too little. But with some pumps you can plan quite a few pieces. Unfortunately, we can't plan for it, so it's unclear if that's easy. |
