I once managed to not only get a Pico planing, but also get it airbourne off the back of a 'wave' - but it was blowing about 30 knots at the time. At 6' and 15 stone its the only time it is possible to have any fun in one |

Radials do plane very well even with my 13st and 6ft in them (had a 4.7 planing too)
Just about anything will plane given enough wind (dinghy wise that is). |

Holy f@K some of the claims as to winds you guys sail in are awe inspiring ," I was jumping off waves in 30 knts in a pico " etc , I must be in the company of super heros !!!!
You guys should have jetted out to America and sorted the girlies in their keelboats in miami (?) or wherever , gr* big report in current Y n Y , they had carnage in 25 Knots and you guys is just getting out your beds ! Spect the instruments on the TP 52s etc are a tad better calibrated than those you guys got ! |
