15 August 2026: Nice session at the end of a summer that is too hot
dinsdag 18 augustus 2026
Today the last day of several heat waves predicted. With a chance of NNE wind starting 16:00. Finally the wind came after 18:00. Sailed the E-Type 6.6 on the F-Cross 113 with Edge 35cm and Patrik 32cm fins The 6.6 on minimum trim. Wonderful to have sailed again. The water was wonderfully warm, even in the shorty even warm. Wind came later and unfortunately was not as strong as predicted, didn't spoil the fun: wonderful session. [Read...]

I got out of the car and there was a really warm wind: bizarre. Sailed with the Banzai 5.3 on the Goya One 95 with 22.5/11cm thrusters I had rigged with minimum trim. It didn't take long before sail was at maximum trim. Lots of back-side wave riding. Tried a few times front-side. Ended with almost minimum trim again. It was delicious. Temperature was very nice, good wind and pretty good waves: amazing!! [Read...]

zondag 05 juli 2026
Finally surfing again. Jeroen went winging, so we went to the Botenhelling together. Sailed with the E-Type 6.6 on F-Cross 113 with Select Edge 35cm. Less wind near the shore, more further out, I was planing easily. Behind the island less wind. beyond the island it was better again. Making long runs all the time. Behind the island a bit of downwind to stay planing. Wind a bit minimal for planing gybes. Nice to have sailed again. The 6.6 was a good choice! [Read...]

Finally good wind again, NNE, but that can be very nice on Brouwersdam South. Sailed with the Banzai 5.3 on the Goya One 95 with different fins. Sailed longer than I expected. The 5.3 was the right size all afternoon. The sun was nice, the wind was a bit chilly. First time this year sailed without a winter suit. [Read...]
