Ariived at around 11.15am to find the demo just setting up and Al and Steve
already out blasting up and down the channel.
Took a quick look at the demo kit and wanted to try out a JP FreeStyle Wave
84 but as everyone was frantically rigging sails I just got my own kit out
and got in there.
I sailed my recently acquired Arrows Impact 5.0m and after a while setting
up the harnes lines and out haul became comfortable in the conditions.
Just planned up and down the channel. It got quite busy out there. After a
while I started going for my gybes on starboard then sailed upwind on port
to the sand bank. I made one gybe and thought ok done that before but not
bad. Then I made then next one, and another and another, five or six,
whoohoo... Some nice very fast runs and fast entries into the gybe, tried
strap to strap today but without actually getting into the strap at the
end. Also made some carving tacks to get back upwind to get in...
Like the 5.0m Impact a lot, and a very nice little session in the channel
:-) Happy days!
