Not since last Summer, which is probably a shame considering the strength of some of the Winter winds. I just haven't been motivated enough to track down a good flatwater spot in a Westerly. The inside of Hilary's boat harbour could be good, but I daresay I'd get moved on pretty quick. Not to mention wiping out at speed with all those pylons, masts and boat hulls around.
Love the new avatar elmo. great family photo,should have known your dad was a REDWING boot
couldnt get that link to work, what was the wind speed?
What about that guy in the hurricane last week?
Also: for a speed sailing site it's DAMN SLOW.
Edit:
0.06 seconds off 50 knots. About 40cm.
Bugger!
(I could be wrong *hick)
40 knots average, gotta love the right wind on the right day for comps. Speed Week in Namibia in 06 barely got over 20, but the weekend before we were kiting the same strip in a 35 knot average.
