Max Speed: 22.4 (knots - unless stated otherwise)

Shoulda have done the 9.00 start as forecast to turn off mid day and tide going out shortly after. Got there 11 ish. The forecasts was bang on, although I did have get a few more runs when they packed up about 1.00
Rigged 7.8 North natural rotational, but it didn't like my Pryde X6 mast which is too soft I think, as the sail flopped down to the boom. Swainey pissed passed me and clocked 24+ kts to my 22kts, and of course I got the inevitable 2 fingers kiss his arse symbol. To make matters worse he is on a 50p 8.0M arrows doggie style old school sail with a belly bigger than mine!
Wind was up/down, but I missed the best morning wind. Since using mainly rotationals sails, not dropping gybes much now and only semi lost one today.
Wind dropped and swung off on cue so off to the spa for the rest of the afternoon.
