Best sail this year, although on 8.7M NP H2 / 155L RRD Fireride. This is a great combo for me (heavy weight) in light winds, and I was only out of the comfort zone, in a couple of gusts and the increase chop of the slight easterly wind. The RRD is slightly slower than the LTD Rocket, I had, but it rides very stable and comforable
Only dropped in twice at the end when pretty tired, and well knackered at 6.30pm after 3.30 start.
Makers tried the H2 on his hot JP slalom board an although wind was light, I think it needs a powerful sail.
The H2 is really nice fast comfortable sail and rotates great. Several was out ripping, and Pete G, Vix and formula head Nick sailed the Manor end testing fins.
Great Sunday, but a few regulars were missing.
