Sunday Sail
Arrived mid afternoon delighted to find it blowing a solid 5-6 despite next
to no wind at home in Droitwich 10miles south...apparently it had been
gusting to 8 earlier. At last a chance to get on the Flow in ideal
conditions.
Thought 6.8 was going to be too much so rigged with loads of downhaul.
Screamed across lake on first run - into harness+straps no problem.
Attempted gybe and noticed it's much keener to do so than Techno. Fell in a
lot, waterstarted a lot! Front foot heel seemed to be catching the water
too when planing. Wind reduced after 30mins with just a few gusts to plane
on. Should have changed to Techno+8m but time didn't allow so spent rest of
time ploughing rather than planing.
Went home v.pleased to get out on Flow at last (12 months after
purchase!)..... I can sail it!
