Very windy day - planing most of the time (few holes) and overpowered a lot of the time too. Should have been on my techno E with a 5.5 and would have been styling ;-)

WInd built steadilly as the day progressed and swung round to N with a large increase in speed as it shifted. Was sooo overpowered for the last 1/2 hour, don't know how I made it back ....

Kept applying downhaul as the day progresses till my sail was seriously floppy. Did the trick nicely. Got it just right for about an hour of total blasting with a sail that felt nice and light. Then it really picked up and got mashed!

Oh well, will pick up my other kit at the weekend which will give me some more options.

All in all an excellent day ;-)
