wal 27 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Brought the M1 down yesterday. 20-25 with plenty of gusts to 30 and a fair few of 35 Quite a decent ride as luckily there was a bit of West in the breeze. Looking forward to tomorrow. We don't have a huge sail inventory so we'll use what we got to the best of our limited intelligence and see how we go The thing with the Coastal for prod boats sans canting keels like mine is if the breeze goes too far south we're beating downwind and if it's sw we get waterlined 2 sail reaching by the longer boats. Code 0s and specialized reaching sails necessary but we need a good wind angle for a fast trip Link to post Share on other sites
Absolution 7 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Brought the M1 down yesterday. 20-25 with plenty of gusts to 30 and a fair few of 35 Sounds pretty much like what we had last night too. We were surfing a solid gust of 28kts when the tack line broke. Speaking of which.... Logan has a present for you, our fractional genni didn't like waving around in the breeze with no tack. It was a small hole honest! I will be delivering rum later on to reward same day service! Link to post Share on other sites

Fogg 427 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 So what do the actual results compared to the predicted times tell us about the value of playing with the predictwind model beforehand. TVS was estimated just over 4hrs wasn't it? But the reality was heading towards double that time. So is there any point paying any attention to tools like this? Link to post Share on other sites
