Just increased the new Swiss record about 1.31 kts up to (officially) 48.31 kts and I'm really happy that I could do it just on my last windy day here in Luderitz for this year.  :-P  The wind was not that strong, but I just had a nice gust which sucked me down the canal without big windwholes - so I was really lucky for that "weak" day! My gear was just perfect for this conditions, even if I wished a little bit more wind  ;-)  Thanks a lot to Monty Spindler for this nice new speed sails and of course to my brother Patrik for the amazing boards and his coaching!
