13th November 2011
Windsurfing: Ynyslas Wind Direction: E Wind Stength: 20-25 knots Surf / Sea State: Flat Air Temperature: 16°C Sea Temperature: 13°C Weather: Sunny Max Speed: 30.05 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 15 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
I missed out on a morning sail in th estuary as I went swimming in Mach and
then cycled to Aberdyfi and back before heading to the beach. The timing
was perfect for a seafront offshore speed session though as the tide was
now fairly low so the wind was pretty clean.
Steve and Andy were just about to go out as well so I quickly got my kit
and joined them. I decided to go big so rigged my 6.3m North Warp and big
80 ltr slalom board. That sail really is a beast, a nightmare to rig,
fairly heavy and cumbersome and pretty difficult to man-handle, but it's
also a powerhouse so I was soon up to speed and blasting across the fairly
flat water.
Top speed wasn't up to much at just over 30 knots, I guess I need more wind
for some real speed, but average speeds were good and I beat my PB for 1nm,
3nm and 5nm so a pretty good day.
I only stayed out for just over an hour though as I was now pretty tired
from my swim and cycle earlier in the day.
