Windsurfing is cool but I wouldn't do it in suicidal gusty weather, I'd like to have my arms in their joints the next day.
Anyway, looking to get my own board not sure what to get but something that has some float to it!! |

I love windsurfing when its too windy to sail! I'm not paticularly good, can't do any tricks or anything but I still enjoy it
 . Bloody knackering though when its windy. Kitesurfing is more my thing but unfortunately not so easy to do.. Need some hot weather and some nice blue sea to enjoy  . Obviously you can't on Rutland and I don't live near the coast so only when I go on holiday.

I went out on Saterday... Everyone one was banned from the dinghy park due to the F9 gusts whipping through, and many were boats on their side and up side down! Constatly between F6 and F8 with upto F9 gusts. Thigh high chop rolling down the lake so couldn't resist getting back on the board. Stacked on my smallest kit and board and spent almost all the time air borne!... ...got some great piccies off me aswell... Mark.

Took the 8.1 out on Sunday. Has some people looking at me like I was mad! So off I went, had a lovely sail round managed to come 4th on Handicap in winds that were definitely haevy for little old me....
Much more interest in the rig now...especially after the controlled gybes in the gusts...escept 1 where I went for a swim.... Paul |

Took the 600 out this weekend with no capsizes untill i looked back and realised that the top pin on the rudder had snapped of and the rudder was sitting on the crossbeam, still attached to the bottom pintle.
Following that took the 200 out with mopps and did ok in the race considering how little we've sailed the boat in ages (I may have fallen out the back after a gybe  ) but we still came fifth a minute behind the 300 that got away from us after a 2 laps. Then got a quick blast in a b14 at the end of the day which was great |

I havnt sailed a Laser in over a year, and it was a bit gusty!!
How on earth *ANYONE* can enjoy sailing those things all the time is beyond me ... Inside of the cockpit digging into your calf, Silly sized tillers ( on stock boats anyway ), and an annoying noise from the back of the main while your going upwind! Oh .. and the fact that if you heel even more than ... umm .. 1 degree the boat wants to spin into the wind, so your sailing the whole beat pulling on the tiller! I'm happy to have beaten one person ... DaveL ... Even if it was by 1 point!!! Nice to see you there today Radixon, hope you come back again next year! |
