Finally we had a decent windflow but only for a very limited time. The fiercest rainsquall I ever saw on Horst provided us with some nice gusts.

It was a shame we weren't ready. Virtually everyone was sailing with sails that were too big for the unexpected gusts. Because of the heavy rainshowers you could only see 20 metres ahead, scary stuff considering the amount of windsurfers out on the water.

Last week I received the new Stealth sails and this was the first time with the 6,0. The sail has been changed again quite a bit since I received the prototype. Its very easy on the hands and great in the overpowered conditions. You can put a lot of downhaul on the sail, a lot more compared to last years' Stealth without damaging the profile of the sail. Its a big leap also for lighter sailors because its much more forgiving while going upwind.
