Port Sorell, 31st May 2024 - Windsurfing (speed sailing).

Starboard Speed 45
Luderitz Speed 5.2
C3 Slingshot 21

Wow, windy! Perks had 46 knots on the wind meter before we went out and it got windier than that when we were out!

First run 41.7 knots and then the 43 knot run where I crashed at the end in the chop. Took me about half an hour to get ashore (stuck in current and chop) and I went in to get my 5.5 as i'd popped a batten in the 5.2. After what seemed like ages, got back on the run to realize I'd rigged it with SDM cams on an RDM mast and it just didn't feel right (did two slow runs)! Went back in, fixed the batten in the other sail and went back out again to do one more run, but it was still howling and the tide was starting to come back in so the run was getting shorter and called it a day. Still a fantastic session, but wild!

Eight sailors out and everyone pushing it today.

Great to see Kaleb head up from Hobart and Antman from WA flying around and scoring a PB 2-second!!

Well done Izaak and Perks, awesome speeds - fantastic effort.
