Baz - sitting on Nobby's Headland you can watch a lot of Slow boats to China - they carry lots of black looking stuff - maybe you could ask one of them to return with Mr P's stuff

Barky, if you're waiting for a Neil Pryde sail then keep a look out for boat from Thailand, not China. They aint made in China.
This is what they look like, just incase you forget

Barky is waiting for new sails so he can migrate to 2 laps with the rest of us.

I borrowed the new model 10 at the last regatta on botany bay it was sooo good .I want a brand new big one of my own even though my mentor the mighty Brucie said I am too puney to handle a 10.7 especialy after you told me how good yours is ramjet . Come on Neil send me one before im too old to use it

Not exactly correct in your facts Barry.

Call if you need a reminder as to the circumstances.

Sam.

That's a wrap over the knuckles if I've ever read one Barry. Go easy on the gift horse mate or you'll be left fluttering in the breeze!

The new 10.7 was onboard junior was ready to go pulled up at marmong to find the wind perfect crossshore at 20 to 30 knotts so we had one of our best slalom days. Oh well theres always next week

Yes - for a bloke who doesnt sail often he was quick

Thanks for the shots Baz - the 1st shot demonstrates Uncle Bruce's spectacular starting prowess

Yes, that was an awesome afternoon of slalom. Sorry I only got to stay for half dozen races, as it was perfect 6.6m figure 8. Good to finally remember what it is like to go fast on small boards!

Thanks to Baz and Nev for setting the course and running the races. 2 weeks in a row of strong wind!. Lets cross for a third!

Baz, Jnr might just have to hold off for one more week :)

P.s. The highlight for me was seeing Tibor trying to race figure 8 on formula in 20-25knots :)

Yes brucie sure has the starts worked out he now starts on the windward side of the line when the gun goes . He still has a bit of work to do on the finish though
