20th June 2006 Windsurfing: Pevensey Bay Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: F4-5 Surf / Sea State: flattish Air Temperature: warm Sea Temperature: warm Weather: windsurfing weather Max Speed: 25 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: Another late(ish) pm showing in the bay, as gutted says, it was 6.5m / 100 ltr weather ... so as the 7.0m GTX and Nik Baker 40cm fin have been needing mating up to the Manta 75 for far too long now, their time arrived .... It wasn't flat so not ideal conditions, but to be fair it wasn't that lumpy either ... managed an indicated 25 knots on the Navman M300 but I'm having some doubts about accuracy of the unit. I'd also rigged my 5.6m Remedy & Tabou 3S 97 and once I felt wind was enough to use it, I reset speeds on the GPS and after a while showed 21 knots max in marginal 5.6m weather before it dropped off and left me with the fun task of stuffing back upwind against the current too. I happened to glance down at the gps and had to give it a double take as it showed an indicated max speed of 37 knots .... technical term would be a 'spike' or similar as I can't imagine I came even close to 37 knots, although on the Manta it felt way quicker than 25 knots ... bizarre Had I rigged the 6.4m Remedy for the 3S I'd have enjoyed that part of the session more, but the Manta 75 with the 7.0m GTX blasting was superb fun, and it all worked real nice with the Nik Baker 40cm slalom fin ... happy with that I'm just loving those Tabou boards |
