    Wow, windy! Perks had 46 knots on the wind meter before we went out and it got windier than that when we were out!
    First run 41.7 knots and then the 43 knot run where I crashed at the end in the chop. Took me about half an hour to get ashore (stuck in current and chop) and I went in to get my 5.5 as i'd popped a batten in the 5.2. After what seemed like ages, got back on the run to realize I'd rigged it with SDM cams on an RDM mast and it just didn't feel right (did two slow runs)! Went back in, fixed the batten in the other sail and went back out again to do one more run, but it was still howling and the tide was starting to come back in so the run was getting shorter and called it a day. Still a fantastic session, but wild!
    Eight sailors out and everyone pushing it today.
    Great to see Kaleb head up from Hobart and Antman from WA flying around and scoring a PB 2-second!!
    Well done Izaak and Perks, awesome speeds - fantastic effort.

    Cheers Dave, love watching speed sailing videos, especially when the forecast looks bleak at my local speed strip 😃👍

    The beach cam was cool, and yeah nah it wouldn’t have liked being closer in the super squalls.
    Cool vid.
    Yep, speed sailing looks terrifying to me.

    Great video Dave. Not sure who had the most fun. You guys or that pair of dogs!? Always great to get of a feel of the different spots. Puts all the numbers in perspective. Looks epic. Nice to see our fellow team member Antman in action too. Keep the vids coming.
