Bonaire Lac Bay. NP EVO 5 7.8, JP Magic Ride 118, 40 cm Ride fin, Wind: 14-17 knots
Afternoon started out with a bummer when the Sailworks JoyStick 460 mast snapped while rigging the sail. Second time this mast has broken in six months - No more Sailworks masts for me... Afternoon got significantly brighter when I was able to acquire a used Neil Pryde 460 Matrix mast (which should better fit the curve characteristics of the EVO sails). Rigged the 7.8 - worked great! Wind was light when finished rigging so went out on the Magic Ride, got a couple of nice cruising runs then the afternoon wind bump kicked in to where I was fully to over-done on the 7.8. Tide was high so I could practice jibes over the sandbar area.
