Had a great sail with Clem today
Played around with my GPS It had been set to MPH!!!
so once that got sorted Clem was top seed at 80 kph.
I could only manage 70kph.
Had 1 swim through lack of steerage.
Clems theory Is I need to move my seat forward to counteract the new weight I have in my body
I have a very light front end however it was a real good blast.
Must catch up about your trip sometime.
I have 2 complete pencil cam set ups which I use in off road racing cars so it would
It will be good to get some footage of class 5's going fast
Catch up soon

Good morning Ron
Sweat, yes you are on the list for a set of wheels
Roger, Graeme and myself are taking two full days to build each wheel. (two full weekends a pair)
After two big weekend we have two and a half completed rims
So it will take a months to make a set for everyone.
Our next build session is planed for Tuesday night after work were we could lay up another rim, maybe.
The front wheel problem exists for all people our shape.
Rig the boat with mail sheet in and you lying in seat in normal position.
Get pat to put the bathroom scales under the front wheel.
You want to read eight kilos of weigth with the whole yacht level.
Solutions if light
Move seat forward
Move mast base forward and run alittle more rack
Put lead in forks, or front tube (What i did for pacrim)
Live with it and power into corners and make sure sail is as flat as through the tack and slid forward or sit up and leave forward.
Clem, Darren, Roder and myself are all taking Class 5’s to 90 mile beach.
Hope you can you come and enjoy the fun? We are all traving up Wednesday and camping out.
Talk to you soon
