Hi, l have a racing dingy background and sometimes get out the old wave board when it blows dogs off chains down here on the Mornington Peninsula. lm interested in racing around the sticks and see where it leads too in competition. I'v run into some of the one design mob at Mordi racing clinic last week end..only coz my skipper no show up with the B14 (trying out again for a bullet in the B14 worlds in Perth..Hope it blows!)

Any one in Oz with a Bic techno 293 2nd handy for sale?

Whats the go with RS-one model that has just come out. Will it get the numbers for Sail Melbourne this November?

These two classes appeal to me coz l'm weighing in at 64kg. so l thought, going by little experience, a 7.8 sail be enough of a handful?

And finally is there any open division sailors in the Bic Techno class, or are they all youths? l dont mind having a debreif with the odd beer occasionally..

Hi RAF, the BIC Techno is suitable to 50kgs. The new NP RS:One and a newer SB Phantom 295 kit is designed around the new modern weekend racer that leads into the RS:X class.

The sail Melbourne event will have 10x RS:Ones for people to hire. Another 3 will part of the learn to windsurf series trailer.

Also don't forget the Kona One, sail sizes vary depending on weight. For 64kg, the recommended sail is a 6.6.
