July 13 - HR Waterfront Park


Hood River Waterfront Park, Hood River, OR, The Gorge, USA
Sailworks Retro 7.5, Goya Bolt 95, MFC KP-RC360 Wind: 15 12G18  17 14G22
A day to struggle. Couldn't get the Goya to easily pop on a plane, wanted to round into the wind, was just a lot of work. At the end of the day, learned from Roo that 7.0 is probably the biggest sail I should put on the Goya because 'over sail' on a board causes the problems I just mentioned. Too much sail puts too much pressure on the mast base and keeps the board stuck in the water longer than is normally would be before poping on a plane.
Another day, anther learning experience. Got a lot of practice clearing and waterstarting the 7.5 sail...
