Another interesting day at the Ray, this time the wind was from the South so good to test port tack, but as the wind was a bit up and down it didn't live up to expectations. Sadly it went nuclear just as the Ray shut down.
So what did I learn. I've brought both front footstraps back a notch and pulled the mast track back back, though the main this I wanted to test was down haul and out haul combination. Went all the way with downhaul to the point it killed the sails, tried each setting with different outhaul, this was easier as I've added a roller to the sail making it easier and more accurate to adjust. Think I've found the optimum downhaul setting, outhaul I was still changing with the wind strength.
Supper happy with my fin, prefer the more upright trailing edge but think its time to go smaller. Lent out my kit today, seems everyone liked my set-up so up which is good to know I'm on the same page.
I took some time out to take a few pictures, even had a run a kite while the wind was light, might have to give that a real go, everyone's 500m Run times below
Dave White 43.08 Ian Richards 40.3 Antony Todd 37.66 Michael George 37.51
Shaun Cook 37.38 Scotty Stallman 37.75 Alex Bennett-Baggs 32.54 Shemi Adams 30.48
