TASSIEROCKS said..I hope Spotty get some real wind
Still getting dialed in, stance and setup required here is quite different to get the best of it, you don't have much time to think about what needs to be changed when your trying to hold it straight concentrating on how everything is tracking so you can react if things get a bit loose. Those in the know say its a bit gustier than last year, so quite a bit of finesse required during the run. Also to get a full gust all the length of the run is pot luck with a small window mid afternoon to score a glory run whilst you stand in line.
Have got my starts fairly sorted and all the work shovelling the windward start bank to aid the wind flow onto the bottom of sail makes it a bit easier for all. The Grader finally worked the run and I spent another half day smoothing all the lumps n bumps out for 3/4 of the run and curving off the bank where it needed it. Basically applied the Pits natural curves to the bank best I could and flattened the grader gutters upwind as well certainly makes a difference. With more water pumped in speeds should increase.
Good atmosphere here, and heaps of funny characters, Brad has arrived and going thru the adjustment process after long travels.
