When I arrived J.. had already been sailing and advised a (seemingly big)
6.7. Glad I followed his advise as my 6.0 would have been way too small for
the day.
Got some reasonable runs in, but the onshore conditions made sailing a bit
tricky at times. Could have used a bit more power at times, but could not
be bothered to change up so just released the outhaul as much as poss.
Got some nice footsterring going and managed a 'fast Flare gybe' (if there
is such a thing). Almost managed a 3/4 carve gybe, but tripped over the
front footstrap when doing the footswitch and ended up with my nose pressed
hard against the sail which was lying in the water!
Sailed much farther over in the harbour and found some nce swell on the
Weymouth side, but there was also a lot of weed over there which put paid
to some moves and runs.
Overall a good day out, but still not the elusive 5 star day!
