ANTOINE ALBEAU
Normally in a cold place we always use slightly smaller gear because the wind is denser. On the windiest day we were all on 5.6m or our smallest sails but I don’t think it was 40 knots. In Fuerteventura in the same wind we would have been on bigger sails. For the cold I wear a long sleeve wetsuit to keep warm but aside from that there are not too many differences. We just use smaller gear. The first final on the stormy day was super hard; I think that was the windiest. I had a lot of power in my sail. The water was kind of easy to sail on but it was difficult because we were going so fast. We could go full speed in those conditions. I went almost 37 knots on the first reach, which is fricking fast on my GPS.
