Hi all,
I got a great sail down at Largs last night, 4.7m and 80L. The beauty about largs is that it's sailable in a SW-SE. I sailed between 5 and 6:30 without dropping off the plane at all.
lets hope for more wind tonight.
I too sailed last night from 4:45-6 - at Moana, never dropped off the plane once (cause I only almost planed once) caught half a dozen waves in the shore break and had a great time!
Give me the lovely blue southern waters of the gulf any day - that brown mucky choppy knee crunching northern beaches
.
Gusty or not when its on with some swell there is nothing better around this town - I suppose its what you make of it - I would prefer steady cross off but the nature of offshore winds are gusty. I would rather have the chance of a few waves in gusty wind than B&J in cross on - its fine when you're getting desperate for a sail but I find it gets a tad boring like sailing on the lake - with that said if I lived nearby or we got the same seabreeze down here I would sail it every day I could. IMHO
).
. Wind was cross shore. The chop was 0.5 metre at the shore line and an easy 1 metre out the back.. but Largs does have the flattest water in a SB. If you time the tide right, it will crank and the water is still pretty flat (that goes for Semaphore as well, which has an extra few knots).
