(machine translated in 2023) First time at Oostvoorne. Windvoospelling completely collapsed and the wind turned to South, so let's go to Oostvoorne. Once arrived, the wind was minimal, after some hesitation the 8.5 rigged. Oostvoorne is a bit difficult to go on the water, inside the dams too shallow for a 45cm fin and outside almost 1.5 meters or deeper. Started with the 44cm because I thought I would start with more than enough wind. Mistake, quick to the side for my 46cm. After walking a lot of altitude to get away from the divers, I was finally able to make longer raks. Wind name getting a little more. Sometimes had to put the outhaul on max, and that is really easy with the new line on my new HPL.

(machine translated in 2023) After waxing my Ultimate Race, my cambers stay in place worse during rigging. 3x need to rig. 44cm Hurricane was too small, wind was too soft. |

(machine translated in 2023) With the Drops 46cm I could walk height more easily. Set ran nicely, the HPL boom is very nice, movement on the boom tubes is minimal. The Trimming is very smooth, definitely better than the Arrows. But this can also be due to the better lines. |
