Nov 7


Bonaire Lac Bay. Neil Pryde EVO 5 7.8, iSonic 90, MFC KP 36. Wind: 18 knots
Short session but first real time on this gear. The sail rotation issue of yesterday is getting solved - the bottom two batten tensioners were jammed and would not loosen as designed. Freed these two tensioners so they work properly. Still have a little issue with the first batten above the boom... but sail rotates MUCH easier than yesterday.
Still getting used to the rig but I like the way the board handles. Twitchy but can withstand a LOT of back foot fin pressure. Also appears that once I get more comfortable with the gear that jibes will, surprisingly, be easier than on the MR 118.
