Set ran very well, fairly quietly over the very mean chop. Speed seemed good though I had no one to compare it to. Later grabbed the GPS. But wind is starting to sink in. Fine fin that Boss. |

Wind increased so fast that it was actually no weather for the 9.0. The 9.5 is much better in hard weather. Nice tour around the island done with Peter with his CAT380 and a V8 7.5. Peter really couldn't keep up, had to wait for him all the time. Was a nice downwind in this strong wind through the chop to the tip back. Then I grabbed the GPS. Wind was strong, could have easily sailed with the Warp 7.0. Once ascended, up or downwind, it went, but otherwise the sail could not be kept. |
