Windsurfing: The Ray-Southend Wind Direction: ssw Wind Stength: 20 + Surf / Sea State: flat and choppy Air Temperature: 14 Sea Temperature: 13 Weather: sunny Max Speed: 33.31 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 31 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
After last weekends nightmare at Portland,where I rigged stood at the start
of the course and decided against it, as 50 + mph winds was not a good time
to try out the speedboard for the first time !!!! So when I heard that Ian
and Lance were going to The Ray I decided to give it a try with a couple of
proper speedsailers !!! So we met up at 7 hummed and harred about sail size
and I went with 6.4 although to be honest I was abit under :( With the wind
square on the bottom course you had to bear off into the middle of the Ray
on the corner to get the best speeds which was not brilliant as you were
sailing in the roughest water !!! but considering it was the first time out
on the Falcon speed I was happy with the result even if I am off the pace
of the more experienced sailers.I had a few runs up the creak so I did'nt
have to walk so far back !!! Great to be out in the mild and sunny
conditions and home by 1.30 :)
