Sunday sailing

For the first time since Poole I finally managed to get out on the water. It looked pretty marginal, but once out there it turned out to be a great sail, with some cracking gusts going through. This gave me the chance to give my new daggerboard a good thrashing and also pushed up my personal best up to 23.1knots peak speed. I also managed a 500 metre run just short of 20 knots.

The wind died off through the day though, and Alan gave me a firm beating in the race foiling earlier and longer through the lulls. I've got a couple of mods to do though which should even the balance back a bit. As soon as the wind was up though, the Samurai definitely had the legs on his Prowler...

All good fun, its amazing to actually have water and not too much weed at this time of year!
