My impression from actually seeing the new O board was, huh?. Seems terribly heavy and really quite large. Photograghs seemed more formula size but in person...

It was a mighty wind indeed. I sailed at the BRR on a 3.7 with a broken 8.5 inch fin. No wonder the kit felt out of balance. Got things going better with a new...
