2677km
Bonaire Lac Bay. Sailworks Retro 7.5, iSonic 107, Drake Carbon Slalom 36. Wind 12-14
Well, that was pretty much a waste with an hour of driving and an afternoon of sitting. What wind there was died just after I finished rigging. Made two runs and stopped, hoping it would pick up later. It wasn't a completely wasted afternoon - had a nice chat with Adam, his wife Lynn, and three year old daughter AJ.
Rigging notes: foot straps on iSonic 107 are all the way back for front straps, all the way forward for back straps. This put the back of the back straps at the front of the leading edge of the fin. Per Roo's Rigging Guidelines, using the elbow bone at the middle of the back strap, this located the front straps all the way back. Mast base centered in track put the middle of the harness lines exactly in line with a 90 degree line between the front and back foot straps. The Maui Sails carbon boom was located on the upper clew hole which required a 204 cm length. Mast base set at 36 cm extension.
Spent some time and set up the iSonic 90 foot straps and mast base identically to the iSonic 107.
While two under-powered runs provided little data, the rig setup felt comfortable. If I was in better condition, I might have been able to sail more with a lot of pumping, but because I'm not, I didn't.
