March 10 - PB 2 sec

Bonaire Lac Bay. Sailworks 5.1, Sailworks Retro 5.5, Hi-Tech 8'4" SVF, iSonic 90, Black Project FreeDeltaRE 21cm, Wind: 15 - 20 knots variable NNE

After 9 days the wind finally returned but from a much more northerly direction than normal. Started out on the 5.1 and the Hi-Tech but was underpowered. Rigged the Retro 5.5 and was comfortably powered. After a while of sailing the Hi-Tech I decided it was time to deploy the Black Project FreeDeltaRE fin for the first time. Plugged it into the iSonic 90. As one would expect with a short fin, a few good bounces over big chop highlighted its primary weakness - the fin was pretty easy to spin out if you tried to sail the iSonic as if it had a regular slalom fin, i.e. a using a lot of pressure on the fin. After a couple of 'learning runs' the spinout issue seemed to become much more tolerable. Considering that I got a new 2 Sec PB and a 4th best 5x10 sec, I can't complain about the fin slowing me down
