Sunday at Coyote... I sailed from 1:30 to sunset. It picked up early
and strong, and I was well powered on a 5.2, planing all the way in to
the beach on my first run. At about 3pm it backed off a bit,
especially on the inside. I overcorrected by rigging up to my 6.6
Delta 3 which was great inside but too much outside. 5.8 kept me
planing till sunset. I'm 170lbs and I was mostly sailing my Screamer
II (280cm). The schlog was a cast iron bitch, several times I had to
schlog till I was beyond the end of the riprap at Coyote Point till I
was powered up enough to plane.
Scott, thanks for the tip on staying upwind on the inside. I was
wondering why I always seemed to be more powered coming in than going
out. When I was going out, I was trying to go faster by bearing off
but I think that was counterproductive as it got me deeper into the
shadow.
