20th January 2005
Windsurfing: Rutland Water Wind Direction: WSW Wind Stength: F 6/7 Surf / Sea State: Rolling chop Air Temperature: 10 Sea Temperature: Cold Weather: Overcast Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Heavy rain in the morning but it cleared a little and was dry by the time I
got on the water at 2pm. Four metre weather again - three times in a row
which is amazing for inland locations. Unfortunately I took out my 5.3
metre Aerial because there were some big holes in the wind and Windguru
showed it dropping off. The lulls were fine but the Aerial was just too
powerful in the gusts, even with masses of outhaul. After battling for an
hour I changed down to my 4.7 metre Warrior which was much more
comfortable, although 4 metres would have been enough in the lengthy
gusts.
Chop was not huge, but great for jumping as the gusts allowed you to sail
at right angles to the ramps. One guy was getting some huge floaty jumps. I
seem to be landing nose first which is a little worrying - must try
sheeting out. Chased off the water at 4.15 by the safety boat. Not a bad
session, not at all cold, and the rain held off.
