I got to 3rd at about 5:00pm yesterday, and with all the great reports
of wind, I (225lbs) rigged my 5.7 race and my 9'2" no-nose. It was
immediately obvious that it was dropping off, as I was slogging well
into the channel. I finally got planning midway into the channel, but
was just barely powered.
I went back in, loosened up some down haul to gain more power, but
still was never really powered up much. I could see others who were
planing, but it wasn't happening for me. It was really strange to see
people on small sails 4.0-5.0's, but it just didn't seem that windy to
me.
But then last Sunday, I sailed at Coyote, and most were sailing
5.5-6.0's so I rigged my 6.3/9'2", and sailed out to the channel where
I was very powered. After about an hour, I was getting very
overpowered, so I went in and rigged down to my 5.7. While re-rigging,
I was still seeing 5.5's being rigged and recommended. I went back out
to the channel on the 5.7 and was fully wound up, sailed for another
hour.
Yesterday was good early, but then died down later. By 7:00pm it was DOA.
BTW COTW pager was showing Coyote 17-22 ave 19 at 2:30pm. Waddell has
been blowing the last couple of days. Monday peak average was 25,
yesterday was 21 (That's average, not max).
