Stacked & 34.9 knots

10 05 23
Roxen - ***/****
7.0 + SL = 60'
6.0 + SL = 90'

The forecast promised a max wind of 5 m/s. We ended up with 13-15 m/s max. : )
First an hour with the 7.0 sail - in the end I was totally stacked. 30.9 kn display.
Then I raced a couple of runs with Gustav on my 6.0 sail. Felt OK when I trimmed it with a higher boom and moved the mast foot back a bit. Not quite there yet with the trim. Gustav and I raced neck to neck. The last half hour i was stacked again and was thinking of testing my new 5.5 m2 sail. During a paus on land the wind went from West to NNW in 10 minutes, quite a windshift.
Gustav and I went out again. The conditions were brutal. Should've been on my wave gear since the winds was close to side shore. After a while Gustav crashed HARD and ended up with his boom in two pieces.
I took some more runs but was really tired.
I ended up with a max dsiplay of 34.9 knots though. : )
