Just trying to live vicariously through stories. I have been visiting and I tried to rent gear earlier in the week when it was windy, but it’s just too tough to find rental wave gear. I did go watch a little of the ABK clinic, and that was fun. Also went to the north side and watched some waves for a while, but no one was there.

Monday was the day for us in Falmouth. Finally got to use my new 4.5 wave sail in the Vineyard Sound. Big waves. Probably around 25-30 SE.

That sail looks really flat and the boom is too long. Was that because you were over-powered on 4.5?

It's probably just the picture. It's the first time I rigged this sail, but I have been using Revo's for a long time now. I've tried other sails when I rent in Maui, but I like these, good power for a heavier sailor. It was set for medium power and I very rarely use any outhaul. The newer sails get a bigger pocket when the wind is in them. I was surprised there was not more leach flop. It was gusty, but the sail felt perfect. We don't have a good meter for SE here, so I don't know exactly what it was blowing, probably 25-30. I would have had to downhaul late, if I had carried on sailing, but we sailed from about 10-3, so I was good.
