Great fun Alpha-battle with Anders! I was the most lucky as Anders was onn land when the best gust came. Tha 22.77 knots Alpha is a new spot record and only 0,26 knots from my PB. :)

Alpha-battle with Mick today... and he kicked my ass big time!! :-D 

Congrats Mick! 22,7 is an impressive Alpha for this spot.

A good alpha at Närlunda is not just about sailing fast and make a good gybe. The biggest challange here is the timing with the gusts and finding a gust that is long enough to last a complete alpha. You do not get many chances so when you get that gust you just have to nail it! Today I did not nail anything... :-)

I started with 7.0, but changed to 8.6 in the afternoon. Fastest run on 7.0, but best alpha and some 10sec. with 8.6. I used the same fin (Z-SLM-40) with both 7.0 and 8.6 and it works surprisingly well! Could do with somewhat larger fin with 8.6, but nice to have one fin for all sails!
