The last ten days has been terribly light airs. Last week I was sailing on friday and Saturday in borderline conditions that we will definately see at least a couple of races sailing in during the Dubai Worlds. Light air take off will be everything and understanding the changes that have to be made to achieve this are top of my proiority list. I have worked to a happy place in regard to this and just need my ride height adjuster to really underdtsand if my thought process is working correctly.
This last weekend just gone was a frustrating one, again not a lot of wind and had some technical problems with my boat, which meant I did not get out on friday and had to play swapsies with Glenn on Saturday. Amazing how in such a short period of time our boats feel so completely different. We will see how it goes when the new sails arrive, which is hopefully this week. Anyway, after the shit weather we have had of late, this week is forecast to be really windy, with 25 to 30’s forecast by predict wind on Wednesday and Thursday. Am aiming to sail on monday, and thursday mid week and then in the regatta on friday and saturday. friday is looking windy as well and after the two days of high winds we are going to have a monster sea way going…. Will ask some of the boys to try and get some video of us sending it.
Not much of the fleet were out sailing on the weekend, only the main stay Kerstin on both days. Rob came out on Saturday with Jerome’s boat as his Assssin is still not here, cutting it fine now for the worlds and with only his boat coming as the lone assassin, he cannot be a happy camper, its been over 6 months now. Am pretty worn down right now. Might go for a massage.
if you change your mid week days to either sunday, tuesday or wednesday, then you will have someone else to sail with…
