Posts: 329 Chicago, Illinois USA | I have had the best luck with accuweather this summer:
Sunday 77, 8 mph, NNE, 1% chance of thunderstorm Monday 74, 12, NNE, 0% Tuesday 76, 7, N, 0% Wednesday 82, 6, NNW, 3% Thursday 74, 9, N, 7% Friday 68, 11, NE, 0%
Unseasonably cool. That said, weatherunderground and weather channel all have different predictions. Warmer and more likely to rain than accuweather.

We keep warning everyone for this, but for some reason most people prefer to learn it the hard way. Besides, with so many F18's around there isn't really any excusse to not tie your F16 down to a secure point properly ! On out games we used our trailers as secure point. Two F16's side by side with the two trailers on the outside on other side. Then use the trap lines and some additional line to ties everything down. Worked great ! Wouter

Posts: 329 Chicago, Illinois USA | Unfortunately, my boat was staked down and the mast rotator was taught. It pulled the nearly 4 feet of the auger out of the sand. More F18 than F16 flipped and they were staked down as well. Wind was howling. What I did learn was to stake down both sides using the trap wires.
Mark Thomson has loaned me his Blade mast and I am back in business.

On the Alpha course with the 20s and the 16s, they literally could not find the marks. From shore, all you could see was the tops of the sails. Low winds as well. Very weird conditions.
