16 September 2007
(machine translated in 2023) Sailing late, was still very tired, little sleep the last few days. Nice sun, but gusty wind. Wind seemed strong during rigging, so 5.9 with Skate. Well not really, so have a lot of walking around. So let's set up a Slalom set: HTS with GTX 7.5. Not really great, GTX was just too little tuned at first. A good bit of extra trim, but I think that was too much again. No, the GTX didn't run well, didn't seem to have any pressure. Wind increased, I pulled my front foot out of my foot straps. So I went to the side and grabbed my Skate with 5.9 again. That went quite well, first a lot of planning, jumping and enjoying. Later, the wind subsided again. One what a bad wind today. Really between 8.5 and 5.3 in terms of sail size. Nicely rigged up and went home.

(machine translated in 2023) Fiddling with the GTX, too little dowhaul at first, so didn't want to rotate the cambers, then more downhaul, the rotation was better, but the range gone, only highwind. |
