thought id share a quick video i made the other day. when i realised i was well out of my depth with the slalom race i decided to sail across the bay and race my gf who drove my car over.
here is a quick video showing my journey. let me know what you think!
Good vid, who won the race to Kurnell? I'd put my money on you.
I had a similar sail the day before but the closer I got to Kurnell the stronger the wind. So I chickened out and sailed back to the safety of the runway.
Same thing here, i'd put my money on the windsurfer... As far as i remember, it's 8.8 kilometers, each time i did it, it took me around 15mn....
thanks guys! yeah i won by about 10 minutes i think. even though i fell off twice haha i couldn't believe the difference in pressure from kyeemah to just the other side of the runway! at least 5-10 knot increase.
it was an awesome run though!
Nice clip.
What was the wind direction ?
From Kyeemah to Kurnell is almost beam reach on a NE, but you looked a bit downwind at times?
Yeah, the wind is way cleaner past the strip...
Thanks mobs. We've really got to go for a windsurf one of these days.
The breeze was more of a nne and yeah I was sailing 110-135 angles the whole way down. I'd love to try again in more steady breeze or a true seabreeze. I think you could easily do it in 15 minutes. Thanks guys for your kind words :)
