The winds at Sandy Point on Thursday were right at the top end of what we get. Gusting over 50 knots! Very seldom below 40 Knots.
In these conditions it is right on the edge sailing. You either can't get started, crash big time or get a PB!
Mat and Hajime on 4m KA Koncepts. Mat managed to get 5 runs and PB's for peak 2 sec. and 10 sec. which was a super effort! Hajime tried until he got trapped in by the tide. A great effort but didn't manage to get a run. It does not help that he is only 59KG, even with 10KG of lead on board!
Mat trying to start in 50 knots squall!
Hajime, another try:
Ado and Kato were on 4,4m Koncepts and looked pretty much in control. Ado got 5 runs as well as new peak, 2 sec and 10 second PB's. He actually said he felt a bit underpowered on one run! Unbelievable!!
I was on 4.2m and right on the edge. I only wore 3kg of weight and I am sure another 4 or 5 would have made a uge difference but with so little sailing in the last 12 months I didn't want to risk ending up on the other side of the inlet. Pathetic I know.....
. I still got a nice peak, standing up, half sheeting in....
As the tide came in the bank gets shallower. It caught out Mat at well over 40 knots! Check this:
