Extreme day, Gale warning 25-35 Knots. 4.2 sail too big almost all of the time. Big swell as well. Then it picked up a bit. Heaps of surfers out at Watermans and lots of sailors at Mettams.
Steve – the speed across the wind “most” of the time was around 15 Knots. Peak was 22 and 500 metres was peak at about 17. Sailing with the brakes on !
Wow lookingback that was the epic day, a real one. Big swell and huge wind. Took several goes to get out at Metts (just the white water and faces pushing back) but the power in the wind made it not so hard to get out.
Watermans was hard due mainly to the stand up surfer crowd who had the whole bay covered. Tricky to find a gap, in the end just sailed the line and they paddled out of the way.
BIG ! Seriously thinking I need a 3.9
