I did this series last year and it was super friendly and well organised. I,ll be there again starting Sunday

Thanks, I'm hoping to make Sunday the 20th!

I might try to make it down tomorrow. Seabreeze says 5-10 knots, BOM says 15-20. Either way it's slack tide at around race time, which is good.

This series is at PPSC not SYC

Which is further North than the Hollywell annex.

ahah! It all makes sense now...

So are they joining up with SYC for the round Crab race? This appears on the SYC calendar as well, as does the two races on the 27th.

Two separate clubs- work quite independently of one another, although on good terms- some of the SYC small boat sailors do come up for the PPSC club racing sometimes. Anyone/ everyone is welcomed anytime.

Also- it is boat club race format- so goes ahead if strong wind, light wind or no wind- so need a high volume floaty board and need to go up wind- usually a centreboard.

We had a nice Sunday afternoon of course racing at Paradise point.
We had five sailboards. Mistral, Exocet, Phantom, RSX, Techno, the whole range. Variable westerlies with enough strength to get planing at times and pull away from the dinghies. Most of us will be there again next Sunday if anyone else is interested in joining in.

It is just soo much better to have other people/ sailboarders to sail a course with. Interesting to see the Exocet D2 on the water as well- most interesting/ inovative design concept for such a long time. Thanks to Tony, Jamie, Cam & Son for adding to the enjoyment of the day.

Yep, was a good day. Good to practice old skills - mark rounding in 3 knots of tide is an art that came back to me in a big hurry after I nearly collected a large fixed navigation beacon :)

Not sure if I'll make it next week, and certainly not the week after, which is a shame. Still, I should be good for Manly on the 26th.

Well done guys, that's an impressive turn out.

Arg, I couldn't make it last Sunday but I will be there next Sunday (20th).

Will anyone be backing up?

I intend to be there.

Prior commitment for the 20th- back the following week.

if anyone wants to race for the next couple of weekends, i have three complete RS 1 packages available to try. give me a hoi at surf fx 0755313199 or call in to the shop. cheers ian

Greeny, are you thinking of coming along and turning the clock along way back?

Ahhh, one design- the great leveller!! So who is game??

Paul, if you can get them to club, I would be happy to sail an RS1 so we can have a one design contest. I will still bring my board in case we get some extra visitors.

I'll be there on the 20th with my Superlight 11

Can not get there for the 20th- prior commitment, might be able to get them down there for the following week. One design racing sounds like a great idea- may the best sailor win.

Appreciate the offer on the gear mr g.

I'm unlikely to get to the shop before tomorrow. Is there any chance someone might have some suitable spare gear to lend a poor soul who only owns a 5.7, a 5.7, another 5.7 and a 5.7, and a 4.2?

I tried taping them together but it don't work

Haircut i have a sup/windsurfer with a centreboard and a 8.0 mtr rig that will go around the course. Let me know if you want to try that.

Hi Cam, That would be awesome if you are able to bring it!

Will see you there.

HC

See you there.

There's rumours of Brad on some sort of Tiga longboard/raceboard joining too?

what time would most of you be arriving at the yacht club?

about 12.30

It was a pretty good turn out with Cam (& son), Tony and even HC gracing the course.

...and also was that Ken Done out there?

Yer, the Ken Done special!!

although i won the reverse race, it was a lot of fun.

Cam - thanks again for the lend of the gear
