Hey

If you think 2 weeks is bad try this, i went to race at the NSW Austrailan youth title and well i went through a chip and it was only over 2 days!!!!!!!!!!! yes 2 days!!!!

The thing is is its not in straight it wont wont to stay and it was grind like nothing else trust me. Rig tention also has a lot to do with it but i noticed that only increases the time it lasts for so dont over use rig tention but if it is heavy winds not only your pushing the boat harder your also using the chip up faster so unless it gets worse than 2 weeks dont worry. The mast bass also has to be a good round shape that is a good one.

At the moment im using my chips up from 2 weeks to a month and thats racing ever weekend and sometimes when i can during the week and i dont go soft on my boat so i use it up heaps quick. So just try things around and have fun.

Sail fast and have fun!!!
