Hi, yes aiming to be there as well this afternoon, will have a 7.8 best sail I have, do down on go and will probably borrow John's lightning. I will try for 1 but may just make race 2 and 3 if held up getting there.

Hi Peter
I haven't got it yet, a friend has a race board (Jim French) that he isn't using currently. I'm hoping to borrow it.
perhaps next weekend.
see you soon
Matt

Yes it was great to get out last Saturday. Unfortunately I'll be away this weekend at the final heat of the Summer Raceboard series on Lake Illawarra.
I'll definitely be back at Gosford Saturday 19th March. Hope to see you all then. It's looking like we might have at least 4-5 starters which will be fantastic to get us started.
John

Just letting you all know I'll be at Gosford again tomorrow. I'll aim for 1pm ish.

The forecast is looking great so hope to see you all there.
John

hi. I plan to be there. The forecast looked fantastic yesterday but more west in the morning now. :( South west is really swirly and gusty. Hope it goes south quickly.

Yes it was a great day to be out on the water, the breeze freshened again for the 3rd race and the reaches back to the club were sensational.
Yes it's easter next weekend, I'm playing golf in the morning but planning to sail. Might be slightly late depending what time I get out of golf.
Fingers crossed we get another breeze like yesterday.

I may potentially be running a little late as well so to save time I will launch from Tascott and meet you in the middle, hopefully we might get to 10 knots

I'm headed down shortly. Got held up this morning. Pete has a flat battery in his vehicle so not sure he'll make it.

Hi Lyndon,
Pete and I managed to get one race in last Saturday, and Pete took my Lechner for a run. While it wasn't as exciting as the past couple of weeks it wasn't too bad out in the bay, although the work back to the club was a slow one.
See you guys again this Saturday if you're free. I might not be there till about 2pm though so feel free to start without me.

Hi I will do my best to be there this Saturday. Might be closer to 3pm for me. Don't wait for me, I will find you out there.

Regards

Peter

To all you guys and gals who cant join our races due to lack of equipment I've decided to sell my beloved F2. Ive had it for 20 yrs. Everything works perfectly, it weighs under 14kg with straps but no CB. Its a great board but at 250 litres Im too heavy for it. I want $1000 for it . I'm not interested in offers. It has a power box and is lighter than earlier versions. I think the CB is a bit bigger too but Im not certain about that. The cassette CB works so well I wish all boards had them. Board even has original mechanical uni joint.

Hi,

I'm keen on your board, any chance I could catch up for a look soon?

Any Idea what vintage this lightning would be, it has a powerbox.

Mast track was slipping, I noticed the metal bar that looks like it locks the base was out of place, I corrected it and will have to test on the water but does anyone know of any common problems and solutions with lightning mast tracks

That black and purple sticker is the only marking left on it

Hi guys, My old caveman longboard needs new gaskets and I can't find the material anywhere. Does anyone know where I can get it?

There was a heavy duty gasket under the counter at windsurfnsnow a month or so ago. Not sure what board it was intended for but it looked plenty wide and long.

Years ago I was told to put sticky back on my gasket as seen in the photos. I did this because my previous boards gasket split very early. Any way Ive never had a problem, although the sticky back could do with replacing. I actually bought spare gaskets 20 yrs ago expecting them to fail and I still have brand new spares I will pass on with the board.
