On arrival at 10:30am the sky was cloud free and there was a very light southerly breeze.

Conditions were just right to follow on from last weekend and to try and see if we could really feel the difference between the diamond and green race verticals. The simple answer is that we could but that once the windspeed was making the diamond frames ‘feel’ fragile there was no reason not to switch.

This obviously follows for stronger winds making the green race rods in vented sails ‘feeling’ fragile compared to the more relaxed feel on switching to the 4 wrap option.

Curiously, while on the field today I remembered an Autumn day last year when it was almost t-shirt weather like today. On checking I find that it was Sunday 5^th October 2014. It seems that the weather was not so good on the following weekend last year. We did not fly…

I would expect to be on Blackheath next weekend for OSOW but that will, as ever, depend on the weather <grins>
