Warm November day, light weather
First day of November, clear blue sky, light breeze. Perfect to try some new light weather stuff.
So time to rig up my Warp F2011 8.6 with my Platinum 215 and test a pair of 60cm fins.
GT85 with Warp F2011 8.6 and Drake R13 60cm
Little wind, could plan, but on my toes, later the wind increased slightly. Sail felt nice and light, boom nice and thin. Vin did well, too. After a while we went to the shore to grab another 60cm fin.
GT85 with Warp F2011 8.6 and C3 D2 60cm
Had a C3 D2 60cm lying around for a while, perfect time to test. Vin felt good. Maybe a little less good in this minimal wind, but I have sailed too little for that, want to test this fin with a lot of wind.
GT85 with Warp F2011 8.6 and Select Ultra 60cm
Had borrowed a Select Ultra 60cm from Jurjen. Fin seems to work better in light weather than the other fins, but speed didn't really feel right. But control wasn't bad, need to test him with more wind.
Wind was light today, but it was nice and warm, perfect test day. I like Warp. I'm not sure about the fins yet, I need to test more for that.

(machine translated in 2023) First time with a long C3 D2. Was not disappointing, wind was somewhat minimal for this fin I think, but speed was good. |
