I am broken, but I made some "Set PB's".
In the morning the wind was very broad for the dam. I tried all morning to get to my goal of today : go 65 km/hr with the 7.6m2.
Finally I went over it : 65.3 km/hr. But it took a lot of effort.
After a lunch break, went back to the dam. The wind was slight turning to a better angle, and more speedies were there. Now, I could do 65 km/hr with 2 fingers in my nose, but all my energie was gone.
Later on I increased my max speed further to a 67.89 km/hr!
That gave me some energy to continue, but at a moment I was really broken!!!
At 1500 hours went of the water. Later on at home I saw the wind increased some, so I think the rest went a lot faster!
I have looked back to all my sessions with a 7.5 / 7.6 sail to see I my progress is:
Date : 6-6-7
Average Personal Best with 7.5 = 57.58 km/hr
2 seconds = 61.6 km/hr
Run = 58.9 km/hr
24-04-08
AVG = 59.67 km/hr (7.5 on the Manta64)
2 seconds = 63.77 km/hr
Run = 61.03 km/hr
07-07-08
AVG = 60.9 km/hr (7.5 on the Manta64)
2 seconds = 65.81 km/hr (First time ever above the 65 km/hr with this sail)
Run = 62.26 km/hr
04-08-08
2 seconds = 67.21 km/hr
Run = 62.48
02-10-08
AVG = 61.37 km/hr
So finally my PB's where:
AVG = 61.37 km/hr
2 seconds = 67.21 km/hr
Run = 62.48 km/hr
Then I went from Aerotech to Gaastra sails.
My fastest session with this set till now was on 08-03-09 :
AVG = 60.31
2 seconds = 61.19
Run = 63.33
So today I increased some PB's with the 7.6m2:
AVG 61.37 --> 64.11 km/hr!
2 seconds 67.21 --> 67.89 km/hr
Run 62.48 --> 65.34 km/hr
