I need a smaller sail!
I didn't spend much time sailing today too Windy! most people out on 4m ish sails my smallest sail is 5.3 so most of the day I was sailing very overpowered and just trying to keep the board on the water in pure survial conditions. I went for a few gybes but can count on one hand the amout that I stayed dry, One was nearly dry as I almost ended up ramming the bank just bailed out intime on that one.
Later in the afternoon the wind dropped off and was nicely powered up for about 30 mins then it dropped right off and it was too late in the day for rigging another sail.
Not much speed today I think I went faster at one point but I was in a rush to get out in the lull in the wind I didn't switch gps back on .....muppet!
