(machine translated in 2023) Forecast go wind force 6. In the morning, Meetnet ZEGE was already at wind force 8 outliers 10. Once arrived, it turned out that the wind was indeed heavy. Martijn stood on the side, baling. His 4.0 had started flying and had landed on the masthead. Mast broken, crack in the mast trunk and extender broken. Without a 4m mast there would be no sailing for Martijn. Me and Levon didn't have a spare 4m with them. I was able to sail reasonably well with this wind. Unfortunately I made a small hole in my JP Wave.

  (machine translated in 2023) What a wind, 3.7 was often too big. At first, the trim wasn't right. Boom too low, downhaul too weak and outhaul too tight. Just tightened the Downhaul on the side, slightly less outhaul and then it went great. After 16:00 it became a lot. Especially with the sail open sailed. When we wanted to stop, we grabbed levon's sail. Only with the overpacking of the sail did the boom hit hard against the side of the nose of my JP Wave: Slight damage.

  (machine translated in 2023) What a small sail. Never sailed so small. 3.7 was my smallest. Well even 3.2 was too big to sail. What a mountain of wind.
