There was a post awhile back about a young bloke trying to break the 30 knot barrier. Well after lots of trying, some new gear it has happened.
Marni broke one of the magic barriers and clocked a 30.28 on a Falcon 79 and RSR 6.7 yesterday on the sacred waters of Narrabeen Lagoon. Talk about a happy camper. He was looking good so big congrats and to Windtechno who said he was only good to be a jockey, a big I told you so!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats marni
I'm proud of you and Leo & John. You all have improved speed wise and especially style wise. It's no good going fast if you don't look comfortable and you all do.
Maybe you're coach has helped as well as all of the other people who have given you advice along the way. Wait for a good day at Sandringham sand bank and things can only get better. Oh!! and bring Larko with you!!! he has still more speed left in the old buggar!!
I'm proud of you

Long time or moons back Larko, I was in the same boat as you "Just got to give up those smokes." 1.5 a day at least. It was the start of a go-kart season, and I was horrified that after 10 laps, I was that tin fruited I couldn’t get back out of the Kart when I hit the pits
That was the last fag I had, I got the humdinger patches (30ml I think) kept them on day and night, and besides the horrific nightmares at 4am. I was good to go in a month I kept the patches with me for at least 12 months, just in case but am glad I kicked it.
A hypoactive old fart like me can do it, you can as well. Give it a burl
Just don’t tell anybody your doing it, set a date and start that day
