I updated my list of <a href="http://arden-el11.blogspot.com/p/results.html" target="_blank">Race Results</a>. It's been a fun couple decades racing <a href="http://www.mowind.org/" target="_blank">Mowind </a>events and the occasional National and International championships. I'm looking forward to the US Windsurfing National Championships in Worthington, MN in a couple weeks.<br />
<br />
This will be the fourth time Nationals has been held there, and I've fared pretty well. I finished in the middle of the pack in the Formula Fleet in 2003, won the Open class in 2008, and finished second in Open in 2014.<br />
<br />
I also updated my list of gear <a href="http://arden-el11.blogspot.com/p/for-sale.html" target="_blank">For Sale</a>.<br />

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Between races 2 and 3 on Saturday of Windpower Champs there was a pretty good breeze so I took off on a downwind run and did a series of jibes on the Starboard Phantom 377 with Severne Raceboard 9.5 (gen3). 6 jibes and didn't drop below 10 mph. 20-25 mph speed on each reach in between. Here is the 3 minute clip of that gps track.</span><br />

I wore a GoPro during the first session and uploaded to YouTube. The session had about 10 mph wind at the start, then light 5 mph wind, then moderate 15+ mph wind near the end. I sailed the 3rd generation Severne Raceboard 9.5 on the Starboard Phantom 377, and Alex sailed a 9.5 Overdrive on his Phantom 380.<br />

The sails are ready. <div><br></div><div>The 2016 Severne Raceboard is the 3rd generation of the Raceboard 9.5 sail. It got a bit longer for both the mast and the boom, so it's more triangular or less curve/roach. This results in a noticeably tighter perimeter for gen3, especially the top of the leech. </div><div><br></div><div>The luff setting is now about 556 cm vs around 540 cm for gen2. These pictures are with the sail rigged on a 550 enigma mast. I want to try this first and then compare with rigging on a 530 enigma mast. Also, I need to use the sail a bit to wear it in before I can get the battens all the way dialed in. There are some wrinkles for now but those will get worked out. </div><div><br></div><div>2016 Severne Raceboard 9.5, gen3</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rJvzyvkx3RE/Vv8sLmef9hI/AAAAAAAAITo/D4cFsT262Ek/s640/blogger-image-1694267369.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rJvzyvkx3RE/Vv8sLmef9hI/AAAAAAAAITo/D4cFsT262Ek/s640/blogger-image-1694267369.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-e4DtnUcd34M/Vv8sK_CQ0SI/AAAAAAAAITk/ADmMeHmGCPw/s640/blogger-image--764706191.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-e4DtnUcd34M/Vv8sK_CQ0SI/AAAAAAAAITk/ADmMeHmGCPw/s640/blogger-image--764706191.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ucF7UWCdmCg/Vv8sNg26vvI/AAAAAAAAIT0/OK2LeUeLWxU/s640/blogger-image--1316097395.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ucF7UWCdmCg/Vv8sNg26vvI/AAAAAAAAIT0/OK2LeUeLWxU/s640/blogger-image--1316097395.jpg"></a></div></div></div></div><br><div><br></div><div>2016 Reflex R7 7.0</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sm6A9MHJ9Lo/Vv8sJQi8GmI/AAAAAAAAITc/sYCOzkYar5o/s640/blogger-image--683818520.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sm6A9MHJ9Lo/Vv8sJQi8GmI/AAAAAAAAITc/sYCOzkYar5o/s640/blogger-image--683818520.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ua8NQTpoWBs/Vv8sMS5JuII/AAAAAAAAITs/rIfevaEWKhY/s640/blogger-image-468894276.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ua8NQTpoWBs/Vv8sMS5JuII/AAAAAAAAITs/rIfevaEWKhY/s640/blogger-image-468894276.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">2016 Severne Gator 5.7</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lUiAaZ3HDWw/Vv8sM6Pg9bI/AAAAAAAAITw/UITVot6OmnI/s640/blogger-image-1237488586.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lUiAaZ3HDWw/Vv8sM6Pg9bI/AAAAAAAAITw/UITVot6OmnI/s640/blogger-image-1237488586.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lHmCjIKTbAs/Vv8sKAnq0mI/AAAAAAAAITg/o77LMwxRGGQ/s640/blogger-image--1785167479.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lHmCjIKTbAs/Vv8sKAnq0mI/AAAAAAAAITg/o77LMwxRGGQ/s640/blogger-image--1785167479.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div><br></div><br></div><br></div></div>Arden Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11714321463249672542noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584827442814490457.post-82616235028844208892016-03-16T08:54:00.000-05:002016-03-16T08:55:02.704-05:00Whitecaps are back!<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-quIwBzLMP2Y/VulltyWQlXI/AAAAAAAACoY/eVJk72roRYwRnGQdyoymVMawJKQjqYnng/s1600/photo-702705.JPG"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-quIwBzLMP2Y/VulltyWQlXI/AAAAAAAACoY/eVJk72roRYwRnGQdyoymVMawJKQjqYnng/s320/photo-702705.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6262648594119038322" /></a></p>Lake Winnebago was mostly open yesterday, and the rain overnight and wind has gotten rid of the rest of the ice on the south end.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15844319927277814375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584827442814490457.post-75411067015780575792016-03-06T18:51:00.001-06:002016-03-07T21:40:57.187-06:00Fond du Lac weather on SNL<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

It's been a while since I posted. The lake iced over and has snow now, so it's time for winter sailing. Check out the the upcoming <a href="http://www.windpowerwindsurfing.com/mail/content/2016-1/2016_Sturgeon_Stampede_Winter_Kiteboarding_Classic.html" target="_blank">Sturgeon Stampede</a> on Lake Winnebago if you have a chance.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures from one of my first days out this season on a snowfer. I think this was January 22 - ice came late this year.<br />

January 23 we got some snow cover on the ice, and another session on the snowfer.<br />

Here are some shots from another day (Jan 27) on the snowfer. The team at <a href="http://www.windpowerwindsurfing.com/" target="_blank">Windpower Windsurfing</a> dragged the <a href="http://www.wakkiteboarding.com/" target="_blank">WAK Shack</a> onto the ice, so I sailed to there and back. Lots of wind. 6.0 was a handful on the snowfer.<br />

Jan 28 I also got out on the snowfer, and the wind was a bit more tame (10-15mph). I'm starting to get the hang of it. 6.0 was a good size today. I sailed over towards the WAK Shack, but then saw Ben sailing on the ice that is being kept plowed right off Roosevelt Park. He was on a Hiberna getting some slalom practice before Worlds in Estonia. Snowfer did good on ice now that I am better at edging it, but still tricky to turn at speed. I just slow down before snap jibing it.<br />

Jan 30 I sailed out to the Wak Shack again on the snowfer but the wind was pretty light. So, I towed my brother in law, Zinger, around on a snowboard behind the ATV. Ben's brother in law was also on the lake, and turns out he is a quite good drone pilot. Check out the video he captured.</div>

The wind got a little better later in the day, so Alex joined us to kite. He was gracious enough to let us use his 6m foil Ozonefor practice while he rode his 12m inflatable Naish.<br />

#WalleyeWagatta went great this weekend. Upper 70s air temp Saturday with 10-20 mph wind. Did 3 course races then a long distance on Saturday. On Sunday we were treated to sunny 80 degree air and 15-25+ mph winds. We completed 6 figure-8 slalom races. Some pictures from land Saturday morning are attached.<br>
<br>
I raced the Phantom 377 with the Raceboard 9.5 to win 2 of the 3 course races Saturday as well as the long distance race (counts as R4 and R5). I sailed the new Reflex6 7.8 on an iSonic 121L (75cm wide) with a 42 cm Vector Volt2 to win the first four slalom races before the wind started to back off and I had to settle for second place in the last two slalom races. Overall, it was good enough to win the event.<br>

<br>
Also, we had great photos taken from the committee boat by Dan Seaborn. Here are the first three pics he sent. I'm attempting a 1-handed laydown jibe. But, it looks more like I'm trying to catch flies. Having my eyes closed probably indicates the small chance of this going well.<br>

Aden and I were on the ice as they shot the video above. You can see our awesome mode of transport from about 20sec to about 25sec through the video. An atv and a garden tractor...<br />

At the end of December, PBS did a nice program about the 2014 US Nationals at the <a href="http://www.mowind.org/wp/?page_id=20" target="_blank">Worthington Regatta</a> and Unvarnished Music Festival.<br />
Check out the video at this link: <a href="http://video.pioneer.org/video/2365389010/">http://video.pioneer.org/video/2365389010/</a><br />
<br />
I shoot across the screen near the intro at 2:40, and there is a nice sequence of a start that is shot from a GoPro on the nose of Mark Boersma's board at 7:41. It shows Mark establish position over me and cover (rolls me), so then I have to pump out from under him but give up a lot of speed. Interesting for any racers out there...<br />
