A new spot record for me.  The speeds alone may not be special but when you have been sailing the same spot for 30 years and you get a spot PB so easy it feels good.  To go 36 knots on harbour water (no wall or mud bank to flatern the water) is a buzz you would have to go 45 knits on flat water to get.  With sessions like this I know that the money I spend on new kit is really making a difference and the work Fanatic/north/select are doing is working for me. 

The Falcon 79 is just amazing!  It rides so nice off the tail with perfect control. 2 sessions and 2 spot pbs (Portland) in places I sailed hundredes of times. Looking forward to having a go at Alphas on this as it can really pull some G's round the bends.

The Select S12 elliptical is an old favorite of mine from its past life at the S09.   When the harbour is rough and going fast is all about having faith, control and 'the back not overtaking the front' its the fin to use.  Didn't spin out once today.

Looking foward to a more westerly wind when the harbour is flater and smash this pb.
