Hey sboardcrazy,

Well done what a buzz and I guess you sailed less tired from not falling in and getting up and using up your energy, maybe I can get 8 in a row one day, would the 4m sail helped being easier to flip and lighter maybe. anyway I have 5 more gybes in a row to catch up.

Kind Regards
Walt

Oh, well done!
I'm still way off completing 8 gybes in a row, let alone planing, but I did complete 24 tacks in a row this week...

I don't want to steal your thunder or anything, but I feel compelled to show you my gps tracks from a day in Safety Bay a year or two ago



I think I did one or two gybes that day...

I think you should check your fin every now and then because that fishing line you keep dragging in the water looks very messy, how many k's of sailing was that.

Kind regards

I can't remember how many kms it was, but it was getting boring. It was a day where I tried to get a big distance for the GPSTC, but The Pond is not such a big place!

Maybe it was kitelines that were dragging behind?

Nah, a normal day there, so heaps of kites out. They must have been staying reasonably upwind that day though by the look of it.

Wow! Now that's one thing I haven't tried much and think would be hard to do!

Makes me feel tired just looking at it! Wouldn't take long to improve doing that much.
