RE: HiWiNZ Cup, Hasaki Japan postponed due to TOO MUCH Wind

Make that an electric seat heater, PLEASE? A new highly illegal, (secret stuff) accessory!

Huge northerly winds have swept this corner of Japan for 2 days running. So anything sent will be swept off in your general direction

The winds have come with a severe drop in temperature over the past 2 days, and far worse, I was caught up yesterday hosting the disappointed visitors and other stuff today rather than be out there, shaking a 2m rag at this “raging bull” and rippin’ hell out of a few sets of tyres.

See you at the Worlds!!

Best regards,

Jimi

PS If only I could pocket some of this wind and release it at the Worlds

Hi Jimi,

You lived up to your name then!

I’ll send you some handkerchiefs! Or have they all been sold as sun hats?

Cheers

Grant

Greetings All,

We had to postpone today’s cup event due to TOO Much Wind.

I sailed around the track for about 30 minutes under a 2m sail and decided to call the postponement when I had a few hops which took me clean off the ground. Not only was it hazardous, setting a course was impossible with the marks simply blowing away. Forcast was for ever increasing wind during the day.

It was simply one of those days which calls for 1m sails.

Best regards,

Jimi
