truth is you only need 2 sails.

an 8.5 and 5.3

my sails have 2 modes.

for eg. rig the 8.5 and it says 8.5m on the printed graphics.

but, turn the sail over and read it from the other side and it changes into HTFU mode. now it read 5.8

same with the 5.3, rigged graphic side up and it's a 5.3, turn it over and it's in HTFU mode and now reads 3.5

all wind speeds covered now.

Vando,

If this low really comes up with the goods for the weekend, you up for a Burrum Heads trip???

Would need to be a good 35 knots before I'd drive up I reckon. Of course, I don't own anything smaller than a 6.0m, but that's what downhaul is for ;)

Burrum was miserable today, the forecasted 20-30kn was actually 10 knots.
Julian was crusing around on his big formula gear and even he ran out of wind in the end.
But I'll be back there tomorrow....

I'd still rather not have it rain every afternoon, and the carpark at the beach looking like an episode of Pizza

Gimme WA anytime

It's all onshore closeing out pus over there at the moment mark .I grew up sailing on the sunshine coast the only good DTL sailing is in the northely's on the open beaches.ESE is for lake sailing there.QLD will never beat WA for consistant DTL conditions .Although it does have its days.

Rain brings life. I for one do not mind a bit of rain.

You must have the carparks on the Broadwater confused with the carparks at Botany Bay. Speaking of Pizza, its lunch time.
