Good WNW predicted, perfect for the Grevelingendam, wind was less then predicted, I was persuaded to Flauwe Werk. Attempt to sail with the JP FSW 84 with 25cm Freewave and 10cm thrusters. That did not go that easily. Looking back, the wind direction was not good at all for Flauwe Werk. Happy to have sailed a bit at Brouwersdam after that. [Read...]

Do you recognize this? Your Wifi becomes slow, Internet stops working. You power cycle your Wifi router and everything runs smooth again. Why not automate this? It can be done for a couple of euro. In this blog I explain how. [Read...]

Slalom training. Wind less then expected, sailed with the iSonic 127 and Warp 9.0. Tested different fins: Sonntag SL-P 46, 48cm and Busca 46cm. Usefull but cold afternoon, the SL-P 48 cm seems too big. Should spend some time to find a better trim need more pressure on my front foot. [Read...]

Wind direction a bit to little from the North for the Grevelingendam. Wind strength was varying a lot. Could do with only one sail, but used different fins to have a good range. Used the Duke 5.9 on the Synco 103 all day. It was a nice afternoon, many friends on the water, nice to see Bart again. [Read...]

A day of slalom training at Herkingen with Jurjen. Took the iSonic 101 with Warp 7.0 en Boss 37.5cm fin, perfect for today. Great conditions for gybe training. The Boss gybes really easily, especially on flat water every gybe is a planing gybe. In chop it takes a little bit more commitment, but still easy. Too bad for the rain today, for the rest great day on the water. [Read...]

Was a long time ago that I had sailed with smaller equipement on the Grevelingendam. The is a new water inlet/outlet, this creates some current in the water. This results in standing waves when water is flowing in: Jumping. Wind was gusty today, but is was very nice session. [Read...]

(machine translated in 2018) For the first time in nearly 2 years finally official races during a Rgiocup South. Unfortunately not the increasing wind that was predicted.

The entire afternoon with the Warp 8.0 on the iSonic 117 dangers. Wind was really gusty. So much bobbing and pumps and sometimes planing. First with the Sonntag 42 cm, later with the 46 cm. It was good pump training. Weather was good. [Read...]

(machine translated in 2018) I don't do it often, but since the wind would go and the next time does not seem to go blow once early in Zealand. I was first on the water, first half hour only, then a half hour with 2 man on the water. When I stopped, most the water beware. Nice couple of hours with the FSW 84 with 5.3 Ice hazards. [Read...]

(machine translated in 2018) Finally a lot of wind predicted, at last chance to the JP SingleThruster 75 to test properly. Delicious with the Voodoo 3.7 dangers, and who was often even to the small side. Different vin setups tested. Ultimately seemed a longer center fin to work best on the choppy water. [Read...]

(machine translated in 2018) Asked about Zeeland, wind especially in the morning, on arrival no wind. Started with 6.6, which was quick to great. 4.7 on the FSW 84 get caught, first with thrusters, later single fin. To the wind decreased, the 6.6 again getting caught. The getrimmed and very good 6.6 practiced a lot on jibes views, that quickly went very well. Fun and fun day with my buddies. I enjoyed, was cozy, and also much in the afternoon sun. [Read...]

(machine translated in 2018) Wind was a lot less than predicted, ideal for the 9.0 LW to trimming. First time with my new Severne Enigma boom. Board was the iSonic 127 with Boss 49 cm. Good trim, wind went from a minimum to a maximum of 9.0 for the LW. The iSonic seems leak under the foot band. Informative/useful day. [Read...]
