1st time on new Hot Sails Maui GPS 5.5 - very nice sail fast and comfortable and like the 7.3 it rotates perfectly.  Started with a 1 hour on the isonic 86 combo with Black Project weed speed 31 and 5.5 - fin worked excellent heaps of drive upwind and during the hour had a couple of 39 knots peaks.  Also managed some nice alphas too and jagged a pb.

The wind had picked up so changed to isonic 50 with GPS 5.5 and Vector Weed Speed 23.  1st run managed a 40 peak with 40 knot 10 second.  Fin felt good but damaged bottom and rear edge on 1 run early.  Managed some 41 knot peaks but found it hard to find the flat water and time a gust.  Later in the day adjusted outhaul and dropped cleat out rear of boom.  Luckily found it re-adjusted and took off.  Bang broke outhaul rope 500m downwind of launch area.  Knackered at this time i had to walk through knee deep mud back to shore.  Grabbed a new outhaul rope and went back out and also allowed me to clean up damaged fin.

Still stuck in the 41's and by this time i was stuffed and had to head into town for tea.

Not the peak and average i was after but time with new sail i am sure the numbers will come.

Good to get out and clear the head and heart from the last 1.5 weeks.
