RONSTAN Bay Challenge - July 3, 2004
Report from Mike Z : waiting
Report
from 46: The water
sure was pretty - nice flood made for a very tame Ronstan. The Exocet Board
sure likes the flatter water better than the lumpy bumpy. Otherwise I thinks
some of the ML's would have walked on me down wind. 9.8 Aerotech is just
a sweet sail. It was great in the 18-20 mph at the whether mark and just
as comfy at Angel Island in the 30-34 mph. Definitely my favorite piece
of cloth. Even though I was one of the few on a 70cm fin ( who would have
thought it!) the Select DC hard was great. Did not feel like it had to much
drag down wind and upwind it allowed me to pick off 3 or four boards. Can't
say I am totally sold on the move to smaller fins but then again I was schooled
by over 5 minutes by Mike Z on a 63 and Stevie S on a 60. And they pulled
away from me upwind! Oh well maybe its not the fin. Looking forward to doing
this again at the nationals.
Send me yours
