New Ynyslas Speed Record
We had a nice early start yesterday, Impi arrived at 5.30 am to catch the tide and the wind and we were on the water not long after.
The wind was a little fickle to start with but filled in and the water flattened off for some amazing speed runs on our big kit. Despite the wind hitting 30 knots we were hanging onto 6.7 and 7m sails and a speed battle developed. Impi had the upper hand to start with when the wind was lighter. I though I had him beaten for a while with a top speed of 33.1knots and then 33.8 knots but in the end he beat me by a whole knot with a new speed record of 34.8 knots… Time for some faster kit.
I’ve embedded the following video before, but here is Impi windsurfing in the estuary here at Ynyslas
