Well i managed to get out for a brief sail yesterday. About 1 hour in 25knot westerly is not good whether is on the harbour or the bay. I managed to forget my GPS but there were some smoking rides, sometimes feeling like i was just a passenger on the green rocket ship.
Well the setting that i was raving about a couple of days before in 10 knots was pretty much usless in 25 knots. The boat was lifting too high, so guess i need more gantry tilt to give the back end lift.
Pretty amazing in that breeze, i think i could have cut off about 1m off the top of my sail and still been fine. Water was very flat and managed to complete 2 gybes from 2, not that well but complete and did about 20 tacks, again not all of them famous but managed to have no swims in 1 hours outing.
Looking forward to lining up against someone to get some relative speed/height comparisons.
Still trying to edit video footage, having some drama with software.
