The first proper Easterly for the summer that I have sailed. Wind variable but mostly around 22-26 knots. There were times for a minute or so that I could not waterstart the CA40.
Tried for some Alphas on the IS87 with Lessacher Duo rake 30 25cm and 5m Koncept. A bit rusty in the gybes but this was good practice.
The tide was very low, exposing some shallow humps in the best past of the easterly speed run so I didn't go there until the tide came in a bit. Still a bit nervous. Did the speed runs on the same sail with CA40 and C3 19cm fin. All felt very good!
