Last winter I destroyed my Delta HC 24 on the reef at Boombas at 30knots.
It cleaved down the middle.

So recently I gave it to Decrepit with the instruction to increase its depth to approx 30 at the expense of decreasing the rake. The idea being to increase the surface area and lateral resistance so that I can use it with my KaRace 9.4.

I trialled it on my 140l/ 74 wide board in the chop a fortnight ago. Admittedly the sail was only small but I was convinced Decrepit had churned out a winner.

So I got my evil hands on to it and turned it into the love child of Decrepit and Darth Vader. Sooo black it turns silver except for the apples :-)

Now to try it out in the light stuff.

HEEeeeeeeellllllllpppppp, I'm going to hell.

The potential karmic consequences are incomprehensible. I pity those pore crabbers.

Fangy that just looks evil.

My next job is to polish the bottom of my 38cm board, maybe I should get you to give me a hand?

Hmm I don't think so Firie..it's good but it's not worth that much, it never hung on the wall at Bell Resources boardroom and doesn't look anything like a key to a Swiss Bank Safety Deposit Box.....

It looks very nice. What did you do to it? Is it just paint?
