Love to see someone now plug in the original windsurfer one design board to crack 40 on it would be great recognition for the board that started it all.
A2s 2 sec was 53.42 average 52.05 500m 51.88 thought he would have gone faster
gee the run looks sweet as




does the start of the 500mtr. mark start at the blue flag (bottom of pic) where it becomes more broad anyone??


That looks like the finish to me... just before the gybe stopping area

I'd say the start is the red flag (green circle)
and the end is the Blue flag (red circle)

Great video from Jurjen allowing us to have some experience of the canal!
If you go to the video and watch the HD version full screen you can read the speeds on the track.

The big fella must be itching to get there. Fingers crossed the wind works out for some more big numbers from everyone.

......But probably using Ka Australia's sail design software thats used to design the Koncepts

Anyway 99-100kph looking out the window on the freeway today looks pretty nasty to have a spill even if it is water. Good luck and safe runs to all there.

100 km/h is 53.995 knots, they are very close.
And that's 27.78 m/sec !!
That's still holding on for 18 sec for 500m

So through out this week, they have done some canal improvements. Surly the pulling up area has been focused on. With the Moving of 500m area down 20m. This would have to be getting sketchy to be able to pull up in time,as bigger speeds will fall through out today and possibly into the weekend!

True Spotty but software is just a tool, it still comes down to the designer.

Looks like some wind again today good luck to all

it will be really interesting to see how long it takes for Bjorn to get dialed in.
