you guys do realise the freestyle sailors were on 5.7m sails, 24cm fins and planed longer than anyone else.

Geez mate thats a big call given pierre was planing almost all of the time, and so was i between flopping in at gybes (been belted with the unco stick lately ).

obviously you cant compare a 100kg person on a 5.8 to a 70kg person on a 5.7... I did see an orange ka come flying in one time, I rubbed my eyes then realised it was someone else

hmm wonder if antoine can get planing in 15knots on a 5.8?
