Tror det finns mer…mail från AB till Martin van Meurs;
Thanks for the mail, I’ll do what I can here to have the good GPS on, The place here is unreal for sure. Bit narrow but as you go down the track as the wind hit your off. So far I have never seen a similar place. Next week will show for sure how fast it will be but currently I have no issues to control the material. With the same setup I think I can hold 10-15 knots more wind. Water conditions are a little choppy but not enough to slow things down so let’s see how far I can push it.Tomorrow afternoon looks like a 45 knot wind 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. -

Gäst6 november, 2011 vid 11:07Det känns som Jesper alltid borde vara med och rådda GPS:ernas inställningar vid tävlingarna.. ( Eller någon annan som har 100% koll 🙂 )
Borde inte Anders försöka ha två GPs:er på sig, plus att någon skall varna för rekordförsök på GPS3 så att ett eventuellt rekord blir officiellt?? Det verkar ju finnas två GPS:er på plats, även om de inte var korrekt inställda:blush: Det var ju lite klagomål på GPS3 att det inte var förvarnat på korrekt sätt.
