Had a good morning speedsailing on Saturday at Burrow Beach. The drive there was in interesting in a snow storm and lightning, but once that had passed over, it turned out to be not *too cold and windier than expected.
*Had to post this pic for comedy value - it wasnt cold as I was wearing a new Elite Wetsuit, weight jacket (which is nice and warm too), mitts, and two hoods. Despite looking like a penguin, no re-heats though!
Also a nice pic as it shows Burrow on a good windy day. It's 30 knots here and I'm on my 5.5, and the water is sooo flat !

Man that course looks good! Cold Sandy Bay!
Sure is good Steve, going to try again tomorrow, though heavy snow forecast tonight, so will see how the roads are.
I know for a fact Northerly is faster (port tack run), but now also will try E-NE, as thats broader. I have a few vid clips of the run, which takes 1min40 end to end.
Might post one to show you what its like.
what gloves do you use!?
@damian: I use open-palm mitts from Neil Pryde. Find them good, as I don't get any cramps in forearms at all, and can put them easily on and off my fingers when I get too hot.
