No formula at present but maybe with the lack of wind at present it may make a revival

The nearest thing to formula racing would be the RSX crew sailing at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron. I have sailed my Phantom 320 with them. I Suspect that they would allow you to join the race on a Formula board as well. The RSX racers are very good and the RSX board works like the formula when planing so you will be doing well to keep up with them.

They do have races pretty much every Saturday.

I race my Starboard phantom 320 in the dinghy fleet at the Lake Cootharaba Sailing club almost every Sunday. I am the only sailboards in the fleet but you are welcome to join us there as well if you are on the sunshine coast sometime. The lake is a nice place to sail anyway.
