4th day of wind in a row and with only an small window of opportunity to go out I was the guinea pig and bullied into going on the 7.8. Wind had veered more easterly compared to the previous couple of days so was packing more of a punch than it looked.
Stacked at times it was really good fun and with the speed strip working I had a few attempts at breaking 32kts with this set-up. First time must have been a 'Right place, right gust' time as I managed to sling-shot over the rutland rollers and onto a relatively flat speed strip and new I had gone fast. Looked at the dial and I had smashed my Rutland PB with a 34.81kt max!!! If only I had been on a smaller sail/fin.
PB for 2sec and 10s run!!
