Speedsurfingblog: My sailquiver experience for speed
Sometimes I am asked about a good sailrange, for gps-speedsurfing I have had many changes in sailrange which I like to share. One thing really changed mid-2007, I convinced myself to stick with speedsizes and train as much as possible with them. Learned a lot about surfing underpowered, which wasn’t always fun.
Below are the sails I bought and used for those periods:
before GPS_______8.0m2 + 6.5m2
11/2005 – 7/2006__8.3m2 + 7.3m2 + 6.3m2
7/2006 – 7/2007___7.5m2 + 6.9m2 + 6.3m2 + 5.7m2 + 5.1m2
7/2007 – 4/2008___6.5m2 + 5.5m2
4/2008 – 6/2008___6.7m2 + 5.5m2
6/2008 – 10/2008__5.8m2
10/2008 – 5/2009__6.7m2* + 5.8m2
5/2009 – 7/2009___6.7m2 + 5.5m2
7/2009 – 9/2009___6.2m2 + 5.5m2
9/2009 – 10/2009__5.5m2
10/2009 – 4/2010__6.2m2** + 5.5m2
4/2010 – 5/2010___7.0m2* + 6.2m2 + 5.5m2
5/2010 – 6/2010___6.2m2 + 5.5m2
6/2010 – now_____7.0m2 + 6.2m2 + 5.6m2 + 5.1m2*Could borrow 2 periods a bigger speedsail from Peter de Wit/Kater, to make it possible to train a bit.
** Thanks to Martin van Meurs I could buy one off his 6.2 (everything was sold out), after wrecking my own 6.2…Conclusions:
– I like a +- 7.0m2 to get good training (in wind below 18kn), I even think a bigger sail (7.8-8.6) gives even more good training opportunities, maybe something for 2011 😉
– The +- 6.2 is most important for powered up sessions and dutch competition
