Windsurfing: Ynyslas Wind Direction: E Wind Stength: 25-40 knots Surf / Sea State: Flat to choppy Air Temperature: 7ºC Sea Temperature: 9ºC Weather: Cloudy Max Speed: 30.7 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered:
Fairly early start with Impi and the tide was still quite high so the wind
was very gusty close to the shore, but once out a few yards it was plenty
windy enough.
We had some good speed runs. I started on the S-Type and we were both
recording speeds of around 30 knots. As the tide dropped off the wind
increased a bit and we were both overpowered and finding one run down to
the houses in Borth and back was quite an effort requiring a stop for a
breather after each one.
I changed to my Hifly, just to see what speeds it could do and to have a
bit of a retro day using board and sail that were both 15 years olds. The
speeds I recorded were almost identical to those on the S-Type, although
Impi was now putting in some 32 knots plus maximum speeds.
We stayed out for a while until the wind eased off a bit around 12.30pm and
returned home exhausted. A good sail in good conditions, but still no
ridiculous sppeds as the water was just a little too choppy.
