I was going to direct you to Ozone's spiffy new digital-brochure, but it's claiming I don't have Flash installed...so let's not bother with that.cosmoyogi - 9-3-2011 at 01:05 PM

Those wind range charts are pretty rough. Ie: the 2.5m Imp is blue for 11-15 knots when in reality, your barely buggying in 15 knots. 20 is good!!
And the Method is green for 4-6 knots and that's barely static flying, certainly not buggying. I certainly agree that 16-21 knots is in the red
though!!
One thing that I have found interesting is temperature - cold winds (here that means southerlies) can be denser and pack a lot more ooomph than the
equivalent warmer northerly. Gusty dry northerly's here are absolutely horrid to fly in.
I had never thought about it until I had a really good session on the 6m Access XC in 12 knots and realized that it normally needs 15 to work.....it
was a cold southerly.nocando - 9-3-2011 at 04:59 PM
John in my neck of the woods I enjoy those whacked out northerlies, but I see what you mean when it gets colder and a southerly or south wester blows.cosmoyogi - 9-3-2011 at 05:13 PM
Good point about the temp/density change. I never thought of that before. I'll keep that in mind for my upcoming Sahara to South Pole adventure John Holgate - 9-3-2011 at 07:33 PM
