Some big numbers today, nautical mile only 1 km from my record and alpha only 0,3 km from my record. Wind was very square as you can see at my alpha speed. After my 10 seconds of 87,36 i knew it was possible to beat Hans again in the year ranking but specially for him i quit a little bit early;-).

Very Nice Jacques !

Lief dagboek. De tweede dag op Franqui was best spannend met vlagen van 58 knopen. Daar durfde ik niet in te varen hoor. Toen de wind wat minder werd toch mijn spulletjes maar op getuigd samen met Sander, Anders, Jacques, Andrea en nog een Italiaan. Het was moeilijk varen op deze haakse baan dit in tegenstelling tot Anders en Jacques die over de 90 km/h gingen. Maar mijn setje toch aardig kunnen finetunen zodat ik relaxed kon varen in de 50 knopen wind. Ik zag soms het water niet door het zand en de spray! Wat was dit leuk zeg. Morgen mag ik nog een keer. Sander komt allemaal goud jonkje!

Mooi pr Michel en dat oinder die omstandigheden. Mooie snelheden en alpha onder zulke omstandigheden, Jacques. Woh!

Marco

Mooie mijl Jacques!

Great session in La Franqui. The morning was super strong and I went for tuning up my 5,0 evo 5. Speeds in the 42 knot range. Not feeling that good with big puffs coming through.
After lunch Jacques has sort of warmed up the spot for us with some huge runs with his 5,4.
I rigged the same and went for it. Water state was great but angle tight. However the times was there. 10 sec over 45 knots pretty much right away. Had a great session and on one run my GPS showed 50,24 on the 2 sec.  Pretty cool for south of France.
Very happy with the day but super happy to find this new trim I was using.
My 41 cm Mistral speed was on fire as always as was my 21 Gasoil ELS assy fin.
Good fun to sail with the boy's...
As Prince say,
Forever speed

PS. nothing of the above would have been possible without the help of fellow Swede Mattias and Dylan at GP3S

Edit from Mattias: If Anders just would have known how far 1 NM is he would have set a new record for sure. His avg speed for 1500 meters was about 43,5 knots....
