Great day at Portland.  Leaned a lot about my kit and tried new things.  So close to joining the Portland 40 knot club with 39.9 on the GPS but there is the trick of Portland...its not an easy thing to do. Maybe If I hadn't left my weight jacket at home!....actualy had 52 knots on the GPS but despite wishful thinking its a spike!

The wind was so gusty..maybe the most gusty I ever see Portland so going fast was more about finding the right gust than sailing speed.

The 51 Speed was good today but also sailed the F79 with 29 Crossfire.  I think I have a new favorite board!  Also loves the Select Crossfires...fast on every point of sail and always felt safe.

This is a Portland PB for me by around 1.5 knot average and 3 knots peak...happy the improvements in kit and my practice is showing with what I would say, quite a large improvement in speed.
