9th session in 2008
Sailed at Auckland, Coniver Grove
Wind from the SW (knots)
        lulls: 10
        average: 20
        gusts: 25
Rated a 7 of 10

Board: Starboard Carve 99 2004 Wood
Sail: NP Saber 6.2 2005, NP Zone 5.2 2007
Fin: Drake Freeride 280
Suit: XCel 4/3 infinity x-zip.
Air Temperature: 16 C

Again windy, and the tide was fine for Coniver Grove, so decided to go there. Pretty steady and quite a handful in the gusts, so I went down to a 5.2, 5.7 would probably have been better. That made the ride much easier in the gusts. It wasn't enough for the lulls however. Did some nice jumps, was quite choppy. Coniver Grove was busy, eight people!

Unfortunately when I derigged found I had two panels with tears in the 6.2, so time for some repairs. It's my most used sail, so it better be ok.
