Day 2: LF at its best: strong winds, bit broad and flat! Time for the long awaited first session with the Loft Speedblade 5.4, which Vinnetjes.nl could catch for me in extremis.

Part 1:The gusts till 50 knots were too hard for me to sail in full control. After a few runs decided to wait a bit.

Part 2 : with the same strong base wind (30-35 knts), but less harsh gusts (and also a better trim), the speeds went up. The SpeedBlade 5.4 is a sail that gives you the time to "install" and gives tons of confidence. Maybe I could have pushed a bit harder during slingshotting (do we grow old?), but full trottle flying along the coastline felt fantastic (with a 500m PB as a bonus). Time to refuel.

Part 3: The wind had decreased noticeably, better speeds were no longer possible. But with such circumstances, it was a sin to stop to early.

Congrats to everyone with PB's, especially to the youngster Dennis and the oldster Koen ( ik dacht al dat ik van je af was ;-) )
