Thank you Chris. 
Lechner is perfect!
Let's try to bring known boards...because this is an official Event and in case board is really unknown...we will need to measure it 
Regarding sails size...
Cat C allows you to join with any type of sails..up to 8.5 for lights and Ladies and 9.5 for heavy weights (starting 78 kg and above).
If we don't have quorums to make weight divisions (Light & Heavy, mini 5 sailors each...), we will all be sailing in same division.
If we finally elect to be all Cat B sails, we'll be limited to 7.5 m2 surface sail, whatever sailor weight is.
Again, there must be at least 5 Cat B sailors to make a division... otherwise they got diluted in the next Cat C (that's what happened at Europeans)
Hi All
In earlier in discussions I thought we decided on 7.5m2. It is going to be windy in QLD, morning and afternoon so lets all be on a level playing field and I will be taking a smaller sail too!!!
The aim for this event is to encourage partipation and most of us have a 7.5 we can use.
My thoughts......Geoff
I still fully intend to get there, but I'm not going to register until shortly before the event.
Hell Guys, Girls
Any other courageous sailors to fill D2 starting line Brisbane? :)
Make no mistake, we'll make the headlines, more than finishing on the podium ;)
Notice of Cancellation
The organising committee regrets to announce the cancellation of the DII Oceanic Championships, the Techno 293 Oceanic Championships, and the Australian Open Windsurfing Festival. These events were scheduled to be run from 21st to the 25th of November 2016 in conjunction with the Raceboard World Championships. This has become necessary due to the lack of entries.
But All Is Not Lost. The Raceboard World Championship is still on with 60+ competitors already entered.
We would like to encourage any sailors who planned to enter these events to consider moving their entry to the Raceboard Worlds. For those who don’t wish to sail with larger sails, there is provision in the Worlds NOR for a 7.8m division. There is a requirement for the boards to be from the approved Raceboards list. http://www.sailing.org/tools/documents/RaceboardCompleteList-[20754].pdf If your board is not on this list, we have a number of options available for charter boards ranging from complete new Techno 293 kits for $300, some RSOne kits to older longboards (by arrangement with owners). Some new Starboard Phantom377s may also still be available for charter.
For further information, please contact Tony Matta. Ph: 0418 737 823. or send PM
Hello Guys,
Following cancellation of D2 Oceanics...
Not time for D2 lovers to give up but rather keep momentum and regroup to sail D2s anytime, everywhere it is possible.
Make it happening, bring your friends back, one by one.
Next time it will be D2's turn to shine :) No worries!

Contact me with any question :)
I'll try to get something going after the Windsurfer One Design nationals. A simple weekend regatta will do, but we'll have to allow time for people to recharge their batteries after the worlds.
wouldn't the biggest barrier to D2 participation be the lack of boards? I can't even remember seeing a D2 board for sale. I'm an old Mistral EQ user, and they are like hens teeth!
Just putting it out there to see if anyone has an idea what a Crit D2 in perfect condition might be worth?
For me, I was looking at spending $600 for a pretty good condition D2.
Some have asked more for these boards but that is the region I was willing to spend. It's hard to put a value as people are trying to buy them, so there is a demand, but on the other hand they are all over 25 years old pretty much, so that comes into play for me.
Some people have had them hanging on their walls for the last 20 years and are pricing them as the exquisite pieces of art they are, but...
Thanks Jethrow. I' m thinking of selling mine and it's good to know what I should be asking around. Shame to see it just sitting there.
Hey Barry, don't let me set the price.
A post like this could well start a feeding frenzy that might escalate beyond all belief! 
: I'll take some photos and remind everyone how much fun they were. Maybe with the 10m sail!
have asked this before
you folks seem to think this board s/b purchased IMMEDIATELY
www.kijiji.ca/k-set-location.html
and said it would NOT stay for sale long in Auzland
IF i were to purchase it, that would be for a smaller inland lake
to replace beaten up BIC Dufour Wings
thoughts ??
also have a Mistral Equipe 2 XR carbon that I use on the larger inland lakes
just use that one on the small lake instead ??
would prefer to have a board always there @ the smaller lake !!
Joe, if I still lived in Toronto I'd be on the 401 in a flash, but I haven't been that side of the world for a while :(
Will I would still like to own a D2 board.
Does anyone in WA have one to sell?
Barry where are you ?
For extreme downwind in heavy conditions in the early years of Lechner Olympic board
Later a more "normal" strap setup .But if necessary you might still use the one on the leeward site .
A bit like on the first Formula boards downwind .
Thanks for taking the time to share all that info, refurb is going slow due to spending to much time windsurfing, but should be a good board again once its done.
I have adapted an RSX track to fit, the centreboard I have is from a Lechner I am told, its a little bit fat for the case so I either need to make the centreboard thinner or make the case a little wider. I think making the centreboard a little skinnier is the better option, only talking 1 to 2mm. After that its just making it pretty with some fairing and a paint.
I have a 9.5mtr Barracouta sail (dacron, 4 or 5 batten no cam, very light) I think will go nicely with the board and make a nice setup for light winds.
Qld Raceboard Championships are scheduled for 29th and 30th of April 2017.
Div 2 are welcome to come and form a division or just sail with the fleet.
The event will be at Lake Cootharaba Sailing Club.
