Today we headed out to Treasure Island for a test. We initially had trouble launching the 50 sqm kite because the wind was so low, but then we hit 33 knots on our first run, in only about 12 knots of wind. As noted in previous posts, we are improving our measure of true wind angle in order to better understand how to maximize our speed downwind. For this test, we practiced sailing at (and measuring) different wind angles between TI and Berkeley Marina (see attached screenshot). MartinBretschneider joined us again, and he took a turn at the kite helm.
