Started with the 8m!! Way too much power even ignoring the fact that i'm just getting back into this game. Still really struggling getting both feet into the straps, the front one not to bad but as soon as i even consider the back foot i either screw up into wind or get catapaluted when i lift the back foot up.Took ages getting back to shore, too much sail up. Went for the 6.5m which was immediately alot better, having spoken to one of the local lads i raised the boom level a little and lengthened the harness lines in an attempt to find that suspended feeling, was a bit better but think i need to raise it even further. Is this a good idea? Any advice at this point very much welcomed!! Anyway managed a few stonking reaches (felt like it to me anyway?) before having to de rig in a mad rush so i could pick up the nipper. I will master this bloody sport one day!!
