One day of wind at the Costa Brava

This year we are not so lucky with the wind on the tour. So far we saw only one day with wind. I would aestimate we had 15 to 30 knots. It was fun to sail, but I went in the second elimination for too big gear. The wind picked up and I was so much overpowered on my 7,7 and 122 that I finished last in this elimination. That makes a bad result and it does not look like wind should come back today or tomorrow. In the moment I am placed on position 45. One more race would bring a discard and there would be a change to cut off my 60,5. Anyway, I got the chance to test my new gear, fins, sails and boards and hope to sail much better at the Canaries. The gear setup is great, but I ´ve to get a bit more stable.

Kev helped me out with some great instructions and I will work on my starts in the upcoming trainingsessions.

Keep you updated,

Chris
