26 October 2011
(machine translated in 2023) Sunny autumn day
Couldn't take Monday off, when the wind was strongest this week. But Wednesday also looked pretty good.
After picking up my RAM F9 from the sailmaker on to the Kabbelaarsbank. It looked good there, lots of planing surfers and clear blue sky. Not cold at all.
Warp F2011
After talking for a while my Warp 7.8 rigged, nice day to test my newly purchased Warp F2011s. After rigging and a first trim looked at the sail, it wasn't on max downhaul yet, but it did feel like it was at max when pulling. Pressure on the 2nd camber was high, 3rd and 4th camber were already loose from the mast.
iSonic 111 with Warp 7.8 and Deboichet SL2 40cm
Started with the iSonic 111 and Deboichet SL2 40cm.
Wind was somewhat minimal, could plan, but didn't have much pressure, the SL2 40cm didn't work well, couldn't even really sail half wind. Was also the first time with this fin, so can also be on the fin. So I went to the side for another fin to be able to exclude it.
iSonic 111 with Warp 7.8 and Deboichet SL2 42cm
Then the SL2 42cm put underneath: Immediately a lot better, could walk height again. Wonderful sailing, looking up a few buoys and practiced some gybs. Went well, could plan a lot through. Wind slowly became less and less so that planing had to be more and more on my toes and I could walk less and less well.
iSonic 121 with Warp 7.8 and Deboichet R10 46cm
Just went to the side for a sandwich and other stuff.
Chosen to change board all. Grabbed my iSonic 121, bought it day before and tested it immediately. Foot straps were pretty good, 46cm underneath and go. Board feels different, runs looser than the 111, with this wind. Board feels wider, gyben was a bit wenne, unfortunately the wind dropped much further away and I had to float back the last part.
Was a nice day, little wind, but with its sun it was really enjoyable.

First time with the Warp F2011 7.8. I think I should have had a little more downhaul afterwards. Wind was a bit minimal. The 40cm was too small, but also felt very soft, no spinouts, but lost height if I wanted to sail half wind, no success. |

With the 42cm it went a lot better. I think the 42cm is a lot stiffer than the 40cm and therefore works better. Walked nicely, could just walk height when the wind was less, never really sat at max. Practiced a lot of gybes, which went pretty well. Still needs a little more trimming on the sail. |
