Very enjoyable sail in trying conditions. Some of the mark roundings were very interesting.

[Pete]

Great day at the Duck. Thanks to all.

With the pink Icarex rig my V6 weighs, ready to sail, 1291 gms and my V5 weighs 1307 gms. Both hulls have the cheap original type sail winch.

[Pete]

Thank you!!

Good stuff Col. If I had read this some 4 or 5 years ago I would never have purchased the “duct tape special” (version 5) but would have stumped up the extra $50 for a version 6.

[Pete]

Amazing technology Mike. Well done.

[Pete]

Nice report Col. I thought that as the wind strengthened that the standard sails would do better than the lightweight Icarex, but the results really don’t show that!! Well done Col.

I hope to be back the next 65 day at the Duck. Health is not quite right yet, but the biggest issue may be my transmitter. The one I use for the black hull is not working and I will have to have a crack at setting up the FS-I6 I recently purchased. Of course I bought a Mode 1 not a Mode 2.

[Pete]

Very nice to see some colour. I still enjoy sailing with the pinks.

[Pete]

Well done guys. I stayed home next to the heater!!

[Pete]

Yep.

[Pete]

Good job on the videos Col. Thank you.

[Pete]

Big thanks to Col and Lisa. It was an excellent session and I took heaps away from it.

[Pete]

A ripper day of racing in great conditions. There is no doubt that those of us that had Lisa tune our boats were faster afterwards. The fine adjustments made such a difference.

Apologies to Muffy for my lack of maintenance on the mighty pink sailed V5 – you had your dad beaten!!!

[Pete]

Dave made the correct call.

[Pete]

Nice day at the Duck, with the wind a mystery to some of us. The top end of the fleet were very good today. A great day of racing sailed in very good spirit.
