Sunday sailing

After Yesterdays shenanigins, Em gave me a bit of "water leave" to go make make sure all is peachy now and it seems all my earlier issues are resolved - the boat flies at just over 7knots boatspeed and even with my daggerboard finish in a state after the previous evenings flap refitting I managed a new PB in the new boat of 21.3 knots. I didn't stay out long, other than to nail 5 gibes in a row and do a bit of upwind practice.
Martin and Alan were both out getting some flying time in too, and after lending Martin my GPS he managed a new PB of 17.5 - not bad for a first-Gen foiler and only a months foiling experience. (edit, Martin got that up to 18.5 in the afternoon!)

  1. Alan left Martins sail in Bristol (never figured out why he had it!) so he ended up stealing Chris' sail from the Yellow Axeman... All very complicated!
