(machine translated in 2023) Nice cruise day, unfortunately due to crowds at work have to miss the days before. On the outward journey there are always rain showers, in Zeeland nothing and more and more sun. It was actually surprisingly quiet for a Saturday.

Grevelingendam

Present: Jurjen, Martijn (Volvosurfer)

13:00 0.25 hour Wind: W 14/18 kts
Board: Exocet S3 - Hurricane SRA 36cm
Sail: Gaastra GTX 7.5 - Arrows Ultimate Race 490cm - Arrows Ultimate Race 190-240
  (machine translated in 2023) Jurjen had borrowed my HTS so I went to try his S3. The S3 is rear-wider, but thinner than the HTS everywhere. Board is more direct and loose. Only sailed with it briefly because it was also the first time with good wind and good trim with the GTX. As a result, I couldn't really work on the GTX's trim on an unknown board. So the HTS but caught.
13:15 1.5 hour Wind: W 14/18 kts
Board: HTS Super Fast M - Hurricane SRA 36cm
Sail: Gaastra GTX 7.5 - Arrows Ultimate Race 490cm - Arrows Ultimate Race 190-240
  (machine translated in 2023) Set ran reasonably well, not expecting that I would be able to sail the GTX with the 36cm SRA. But went pretty well, height running wasn't great, but no spin-outs and board ran very quietly. Wind dropped in and so I went to grab the 40cm SRA. Together with Martijn and Jurjen some back and forth. I was good at keeping up with them.
15:15 1.75 hour Wind: W 14/18 kts
Board: HTS Super Fast M - Hurricane SRA 40cm
Sail: Gaastra GTX 7.5 - Arrows Ultimate Race 490cm - Arrows Ultimate Race 190-240
  (machine translated in 2023) After 15 minutes of sanding with an abrasive, the 40cm finally fit into my HTS. Board is a lot looser with the 40cm. Much easier to walk height and I also think faster. With Martijn it was the same in the gusts, but in between I was clearly faster.
