The best thing about windsurfing in Berkeley is that you can rig anything you want! You’d think I’d have been underpowered on the 11th with the 5.1, but that Hansen sail has a great bottom end! It takes me upwind even on the wavy FSW board.
How powered you feel depends a lot on how windy it is all the way across the sailing basin. It’s almost a mile across–the perfect distance for long reaches! The anemometer is at one end, on the point, a good 30 feet in the air.
This is an historic day. For the first time, on the FSW 94, my fin was TOO BIG! This pleases me greatly. The Hansen sail is SO FAST it makes the difference.
