Nuclear Wind. Definition: the maximum
wind strength a person is able to sail in using their smallest sail.
Saturday 12th May was one of those rare nuclear days, with a midday
low tide making it more or less ideal. And with Mark Brooks on the
beach taking photos with a decent digital SLR and zoom, we have been
able to capture the occasion. Here are some of the guys brave enough
to put out in Force 7 winds averaging well over 30 mph, starting with Marc Carney,
sailing with style. |
