*Apologise to all those who work mon to fri 9 to 5

Hope you guys are getting a piece of this! Monday and Tuesday morning awesome sail runs. Got to use my new (second hand) small sail for the first time, love it! Makes 35knots feel like a seabreeze. I'm feeling a morning sail coming on tomorrow too.

Well it's good to see that the weather hasn't gone to waste. Was looking really really good from the office window (BLAH)
Glad you like the 4.7.

It's a 4.5 actually. Glad you like it Le. Did it work well on the carve? Did you try the wave fin or the 28? Hope you get to use it a lot, 'cos that means wind for all!

God I hope it will be windy tomorrow as today goes down as a total nightmare! Went to Rye at 4pm, looked awesome and was waiting for a mate to arrive so I put the window down in the car to see how windy it was (due to the rain) and the bloody thing wouldn't go back up! Right on cue came large amounts of rain, rain and slightly more rain.

Good news is the car is now booked in for repair at 8am, kit still loaded in so hopefully will be out tomorrow. fingers crossed....

Oh damn Rosobot I feel for you.

Ended up buying both your sails, felt they were both good prices and increased my options.

Actually bondy I kept the big fin on because I got lazy. If there was any problem with it (which wasn't really a problem), it shot upwind without effort. Managed to get a jump upside down, but stacked on landing. Still better than the last time when I bailed in the air when I looked down.

Looking forwards to a good sail Wed afternoon. Still forecasting at 25-30knots, bigger sail weather.
