21st August 2003 Windsurfing: Brogborough Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 4 - 5 -6 Surf / Sea State: flat ish Air Temperature: 20 Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered: What a fabulous afternoon/ evening I'm still grinning now! Rigged 7m sail and large board I knew I was gonna be well over powdered but most times the wind drops off as soon as ive done 1 run not today though! Usualy there are quite a few lulls in the wind at brog but not today it was constant blasting back and forth. Some times really over powered and rally hanging on for dear life. Im still not quite there with the gybes I was hoping for the plane in and plane out today but just can't get the rig to flick proper not sure if im doing it too late or to early. I just can't get sheeted in quick enough on the new tack. Decided to have a go in the race (see how many gybes I can get wet on) got a good start and even got round the first gybe !, I just can't gybe in the races. I was really quick in a straight line was overtaking and people but always lose it on the corners. On one of my many dunkings Tim decided to try and give me a helping hand in falling inagain with a bit of contact may of dropped the rig but I didn't fall in ! I started to get the hang of gybing again and done the last 3 laps without falling in and come really close to planning all the way round. Managed to come in 4th in the end (thats what it said on the results cos I didn't have a clue I didn't even know how many laps the race was!) And the evening was finished off with fish n chips Gopnna give it 5 stars had a fantastic sail even if didn't get the gybe |
