Ser ut som det kan ha blivit nytt gps-rekord idag! … and more to come
Taro Niehaus set a new South African record of 51.64 knots, and Seb had 51.2. I’m not sure what Anders’s 500m average was, but he had another 50+ peak today (50.3 kts).
This is a phenomenal*effort and well deserved; Taro didn’t hold back, which takes a lot of guts and confidence in your equipment and ability. It was not easy going out there, and despite this he came out unscathed and clocked the best speed so far.
Well done Lighty, I salute your achievement !!!
Strong wind is forecast until Sunday, so I’m sure the speeds will climb further.
Seb took a break over the past week and I have not doubt that he will dial it in before Sunday, which is forecast to be the strongest day. -
Ny och coolare film!

Video of Anders Bringdal (31 Oct) when he had a 50.72 Vmax6 NOVEMBER 2011 :
Good on Anders for taking the chance and coming on short notice when he saw the big wind forecast, and a few hours later was setting some blistering speeds on his windsurfer (21cm Assy fin, 2012 production board and prototype Assy sail).
There was a real mess with his GPS’s on 31 Oct, so his GPS session posted was from the day after (1 Nov) when the wind was lighter, firstly his GPS was set to only read every 2 seconds and therefore did not record his historic peak speed, and he later exchanged his GPS for another which was set up even worse; Memory & Data Logger were switched off, so nothing was recorded; and his 5.7 sail had a small hole in it, so he had to use a 5 instead.
Despite this, his speeds were still good enough to land him second place on the GPS ranking (by a whisker).
Were Anders not so tired from his trip and wearing the correctly configured GPS’s on the first day, his recorded speeds would have been even more impressive.It’s far from over though, we might still see a windsurfer record the first ever 50 knot 500m run as early as next week, as*there a string of windy days coming up, and the canal improvements will help in this regard as well.
5 NOVEMBER 2011 :
I’m busy compiling the footage from Luderitz and will publish it over the next few days.
More digging was done on the canal yesterday to improve the start and end of the run, and the sand ramp on the windward bank has been removed. The sharp edges on the leeward bank have also been removed to make it safer.
These changes coupled with a full tide next week should improve the speeds and safety.*
Trials will be done at Storm Vogel bay this afternoon, and racing will return to the canal later next week.
There’s a string of decent wind days coming up soon. -
Ryktet säger att S10 gjort v max på över 50 knop och 500 meter på 48 (någonting) knop!

Årets kanal verkar ju vara en klar förbättring. Riktigt lång sträcka, inga vallar i lovart men fortfarande en hyfsad chans att slå ihjäl sig vid en vurpa. Heja AB!!!

Vad tror ni om att försöka samla så många som möjligt från varje lag och köra en ”showdown” på ett och samma ställe (dammen) innan säsongen är slut..!? Vi behöver ju bara vara 2 från varje lag för att det ska funka. Tänkte bara det kunde vara en kul grej. Givetvis är det progg segling som gäller.Jag ska kolla när jag har oflyttbart möte i Polen nästa gång så att vi kan låsa datumet direkt, vore ju kul för alla om det blev rekordförhållanden …

Grattis Gubbar! Business review i Polen verkar återigen vara ett fungerande recept för bra förhållanden i dammen. I morgon blir det budgetdragningar med Rumänien, Polen och Ryssland, häpp!

Snarare proto-proto än 2012, men ändå:
Kan det vara AB:s Luderitz-prylar (om han nu ska dit igen?) måntro? -
Grattis till guldet Benke!!!
Grattis till cupen Marcus!!! -

Gårdagen var kul, skönt att veta att det finns såpass mycket fart i grejjerna och i Haga strippen. Ser ut som ännu mer vind nästa onsdag :shocked:
Tyvärr för er andra så har Kenneth bestämt ”only locals” denna dag 😀Men det var väl självaste faaaaaaaaaaan när som helst men inte onsdag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anders, surt och tråkigt med fingret hoppas det läker snabbt!
Daniel, lycka till och kör hårt!
