Today was the day !

Arrived at the beach, with Dirk and Pat, around 9 pm. Rigged my smallest set and went for it. BAM! 79+ avg and peaked 3 times +87km/u !!

I’m pretty proud off this result still aging 19 years old, using an 7 years old sail (with a third camber batten I broke during my first upwind run) and my 86,5kgs bodyweight (didn’t use any weight).

I’m now 4th in the 2’' Belgian All time ranking and 5th on average (including Lüderitz).

I also have a PR on the 500m and the nautical mile. Tried 2 miles and the second one was just 100m too short, but I had a 1,5km of 69,2km/u. I’m sure +71 km/u is possible.

My gear worked perfect, the sail was always stable, the Sonntag is fast and gives a lot of confidence and the JP45 is just a rocket ;-)

Congrats to everyone with a PR, and also everyone who sailed in these conditions. Water was flat but the gusts were pretty hard (measured 48 knts).

I also want to thank my dad for supporting me the past 10 years in the best sport ever ;-)
