Argh, 1st run out the harness hook exploded. Hard
slog back with no harness hook, replacement hook attached. Once back
out the wind shift came ~ Southerly & steady increase in wind. At
1st, thought the 4.9m KA Koncept was too small but then a small sail is
best practice in case the wind nuked as it can here, survival game is
better than pure power.
With the wind being Southerly we could only Reach running square to the
wind. If the wind was the
required South West we would be able to broad reach enabling a jump
higher in speeds.
Bruce & Craig went well on the square course ~ likely the difference between Race Sails & Downwind Speed Sail or there TOW.
Anyway nice to be on the water with sunshine & wind ~ Next time Lads.
