Can people start to put sailor weight back into these reports? I sail my
4.6 when wind is 30-40
For example, yesterday I sailed my 5.5 and 8'11"(24" wide) ASD Mutant at
Coyote in the channel at 4PM yesterday until the wind backed off. Multi
mile schlog..... I then rigged my 7.5 and a Seatrend Allstar 70 (70cm wide
flapper board) and had fun until late. You would not know it was really
windy when I went out unless you knew I weigh 230#
Thanks
Kirk out
PS I still have an 8'8" ASD epoxy bump board (80L 22" wide) for sale $400
and a 6.5Naish Noa $150.
