Full on training
days in dubai have been unusually windy this might be due to the fact of the weather changing back to being warm rather than the nice 20 degrees we had almost a month ago. sailing the past few days has been very tuff for me and my boat due to the wind strenght but i cant complain, it was fun. today we had the Moth Grand Prix which was kind of not real racing but rather trying to stay upright and not nosedive on the way down. last race that i competed in my foil flap came of and i had to go swim back and get it since i had so much speed that i got far away from it. boats are arriving daily but the sailors are not, so there are around 15 boxes lying the waiting to be opened, and who could have not guessed that nearly 95% if not more of them are Mach2 which is kind of annoying not being able to sail against more people with the same boat to see how you REALLY compare to them instead of trying to keep up with a slower boat. need to fix my flap tomorrow even though there is again good wind forcasted even though that is just in the morning. the swiss team JP and Arnaud are very good sailors and have some very impressive things on their boat which took them 35 hours to make and so again makes them lighter. they are fast upwind but havent sailed against them downwind yet so we will see next time i am leveled with them and not far behind. James from England has also arrived and put on his sponsor stickers today and then went out sailing after my flap broke and the wind then dropped making it even harder in those gusy conditions. Jonny wanted to go sailing but was unfortunate of finding out that his foil was broken not letting him go sailing. it turned out that 25knots and flat water are more fun than scary, except offcourse if the waves kick in. i am still thinking about buying the on the water adjustable ride height, which is very expensive or not???
