Most of the afternoon I sailed with the 99, but I did try the new Falcon 89 for the last hour and got my fastest run then: over 70 kph with a max speed of 72.5. As a hi wind board this baby is at least as fast as this years Falcon 85L but with a lot more control and stability. Basically you don't have to sheet out anymore going through the chop as you head downwind.
I had a fun sesh, sunny although it is noticably getting colder, temperature got stuck at 12 C, maybe one of the last sessions without booties!
Sailing on the gouwzee is fun, challenging and definitely not flat!
