How many guys on here have sub 4m sails?
Any one got anything below 3.7m?
I've got a 3.7m which I use occasionally but more often than not I wait till it's a bit more reasonable strength.
does anyone "enjoy" sailing when it's over 35 knots?
Use to have a 3.2 Wild Winds speed sail,but it was so twitchy to use that I rarely enjoyed sailing it. Last used in 04 in 60+ at the Pit. I,m much happier on the 5.0,up to 40-50,once its over that its time for the video camera and sit on the beach. I,ll grab a 4.4 one day,but its another 2 grand by the time you throw in a new mast and boom, just to use a few times a year.Plus 30-40kts is play for me. Love it ![]()
Oh love it over 35knots, although I kind of get smashed due to smallest sail being 5.3. Which I've figured is the equivilent of 4.5 for light sailors. Above 40knots knots I can hold it down but the moment I unhook it's ripped out of my hands. But it is fun in a painful kind of way.
Just got a smaller sail this weekend in anticipation of those psycho winds. Unfortunately didn't get out today until midday so missed the good stuff ![]()
