found the water low with the direcion but was happy with gibing allday 

wind was over powering when half way out onward for 7.3  against chop for me  i need more weight to hold her down  i was 90% of time out of the water 

i wasnt trying either couldnt be assed  ,been doing to much on sunday 

next time you go out paul can you get some duty free s you could fix a little push  bike rack on the back , the old type ones with spring loaded holder rack  or even better a litlle wicker basket type one ( old granny style on front of mast )  Respect !
