Another great sail @ Fleetwood !  

No real speeds coz it was square on but managed to get a half decent mile in. First time out on my new Simmer's which was super, could pop it straight onto plane & felt really easy to sail considering it was the first time out with them.    

Fab morning sesh with Mark B & Alastair N   !    

Next time we'll get the Gopro out & do a video

Super session with Chris Bates and Alastair Nichol for company.

The wind was pretty square onto the course which kept the speeds down, shame really as another 10 degrees off would have put a few extra knots onto our averages.

Nice to see a new PB on the nautical mile :-)

The last 45 mins of the session was definitely the best with me and Chris starting our runs together and at times hammering down the course with literally only a few yards between us. Gutted we didn't have the GoPros as it would have made for some great filming.

Just one last thing, it looks like thats another pie you owe me Chris ;-)

It's a good job I'm from Wigan with all the pies I out :-)

 

Great day on the water with Chris Bates and Mark Bailey at Fleetwood, thanks for sharing the trip up Mark, much appreciated mate

Can't remember the last time it was windy on a weekend as it's usually during the wind when there's decent wind and i'm working, but to have Sun and Wind at the same time was great. First time on my new 2012 7.5m Koncept becasue of the recent lack of wind which has meant my Raceboard has had loads of use. It's an awesome sail and yet again Jesper has improved an allready great sail. It's so stable in the gusts and once going just wants to keep accelerating and the cams rotate like there not there. Tried a couple of quick slingshots for a couple of seconds on gusts to see it's potential broad of the wind and i'm stoked with the surge of acceleration you get as you bear off, Just got to experiment with the downhaul settings to find the sweet spot

First time here and it's a great spot, wind direction was pretty square today making it hard to get any fast runs in and i was a bit unsure where the shallow spots were so didn't really push it but i still managed to damage my favourite 36cm fin hitting the bottom at one point but i can definitely see the potential in this place if there is ever a ESE as it will rival the Ray and West Kirby for the speeds that can be set there and will potentially be a record breaking spot. I'll definitely will be back :-))
