Afternoon surfing
Finally a nice breeze and sun predicted in the afternoon. So I took an afternoon off to go sailing.
around 3 o'clock I was at the Grevelingendam. Clear blue sky and a nice breeze.
Duke 5.9 with Freewave 104
Quickly rigged. 5.9 should be possible. Just to be on the safe side, the Freewave 104 underneath.
Once on the water, the wind turned out to be disappointing, I could just barely plan.
So quickly went to the side for the 6.7.
Duke 6.7 with Freewave 104
After rigging up looking for my MFC Freemove 31cm, which I need for my 6.7 to sail on the Freewave 104, I turned out not to have it with me. Then I tried the Mistral 25cm: No success. Fin is too small for this sail.
Duke 6.7 with S-Type 104
Since I didn't have a larger power box fin with me, but grabbed the S-Type 104, Eagle 35cm underneath to plan early. Hey hey, finally nice sailing. Many gybe-jes done in the bay, still a little outside the bay sailed. Nice combo.
Daytona 7.3 with iSonic 115
Martijn had also come, nice. He was going to rig his AHD SL1 125 with Daytona 7.8, so I also rigged my slalom set. I should have taken my GT85 with Daytona 8.3, but then I was certainly much faster than Martijn. He also weighs a little more than I do.
Once back on the water it was very disappointing. With some pumps in a flurry I did get into plane, but it certainly didn't last. It certainly didn't work in the bay. All in all, we sailed back and forth a bit and then stopped. Martijn also stopped again. Also thought the wind was too little.

(machine translated in 2023) Too little wind for the 5.9. If I could go something wide, I could just plan. So bigger sail needed. |

(machine translated in 2023) Ran nice, good combo. Sometimes well powered, other moments on the edge, but I could always plan. Worked a lot in the bay on my gybs. Also some duck-gybe-jes. Ran nicely. |
