I was thinking of going up to Kayak Pt for the day on Monday but it looks like Lake WA might be plenty windy and it is not as far to drive. PUGET SOUND AND...
Had a very pleasant lean on the pier this evening in some wild wind and no rain. My intent was to get to Des Moines about 2:00PM and decide if wind and temp...
If the wind, temp cooperates, I might check out this park tomorrow instead of Waverly... Any other takers? Well see what tomorrow brings, tons of rain still......
I walked this park the other day. As far as rigging, there is lots of room. You have to carry your stuff down a steep, probably muddy, drive but there is lots...
Now we know what he looks like.. Strange fellow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mTLO2F_ERY&eurl=http://techsnap.net/ 2007/amazing-commercial/ ... Steve Utaski...
Went to three different spots on Whidbey, looked to be about 3.5 weather but way too much driftwood in the water. I didn't chance going out alone.......Phillip...
Mike, You are right about the windline shutting down further down toward Juanita from Waverly. The wind tends to shut down by Kiwanis if it's lighter than 4.7....
Sounds good to me. kind of a secret spot. i have wondered if there are any other "secret" spots on the east side or west side of the lake where you can put in....
It was very good 4.2m conditions all afternoon. I got there around noon so I did not even go to Ft Flaggler because high tide was around mid-day and the...
Hi Glenn, I was at Ft. Flagler by about 9:00 Monday morning. Wind looked great from the bluff, 4.2 would be my guess. But the tide was already too high with...
Hi folks, my wife and I are planning to go to Aruba at the end of March 2008. We're staying at Marriott that has the Vela center. I called Vela to reserve the...
Friends of the Columbia Gorge recently contracted with the one of the Pacific Northwest's largest economic consulting firms, ECONorthwest, to conduct an...
I have heard of a theory regarding a relationship between a given change in windspeed and sail size. One would use this information for determining what sail...
I am heading to Kauai after new years for a week. Does anybody have experience with sailing in Kauai. Rentals? best places to sail? do's and don'ts? ...
My wife and I were there for a week this last summer, and it happened to be a very windy week. In fact, a lot of the helicopter tours were being cancelled due...
I have a very rough guide that helps me with sail selection. At my weight (160#) and sailing shortboards in Gorge conditions, I can use the following "chart"....

There are many factors at play here when a given sailor defines sail size for the conditions. For my Slalom sailing I like speed...lots of it... so I usually...
I like Sailworks sails with big wind ranges and I have tested most of these on both ends of the wind scale. Here is what I have found to work for me at 190 to...
I generally rig the wrong size and determine whether I'm over or under powered and then sail back in and rig the correct size :-) Geo ... information...
... Yes - modern sails have tremendous range. But, taking the 6.5m2 example - 18-24: fun sailing 24-30: sailing okay, but it's becoming hard to turn up and...

I think that is what nooby is trying to prevent. We get more quality TOW when we get it right the first time and then only re-rig when there is a significant...
Just my dry sense of humor kicking in. Some more good advice: Put on your wetsuit before you rig. If you rig before you put on your wetsuit, the wind...
Here's my Gorge wind chart: - Calibrated to the Swell City iW sensor average reading (I sail at Hatchery mostly) - For east winds have to add 2 MPH to wind...
