Hi, yes aiming to be there as well this afternoon, will have a 7.8 best sail I have, do down on go and will probably borrow John's lightning. I will try for 1 but may just make race 2 and 3 if held up getting there.

Hi Matt
Out of interest what type of board did you find?
Regards
Peter
Hi Peter
I haven't got it yet, a friend has a race board (Jim French) that he isn't using currently. I'm hoping to borrow it.
perhaps next weekend.
see you soon
Matt
Hi Guys,
Nice to be blessed with some wind today. Chop was crazy in the centre, especially with the big cruiser doing laps. For those thinking of turning up next Saturday watch this space as it sounds like next Saturday a number are away. So perhaps lets do a check on Thursday or Friday. Lyndon
Yes it was great to get out last Saturday. Unfortunately I'll be away this weekend at the final heat of the Summer Raceboard series on Lake Illawarra.
I'll definitely be back at Gosford Saturday 19th March. Hope to see you all then. It's looking like we might have at least 4-5 starters which will be fantastic to get us started.
John
Hi unlikely I will be sailing down at Illawarra on Sat so will have to get out on Brisbane Water.thinking of getting tl the club around 12.30 and on water by 1.15 ish, anyone know keen, forecast is good, could do similar to last week having informal races around the fixed marks 
!
I
Just letting you all know I'll be at Gosford again tomorrow. I'll aim for 1pm ish.
The forecast is looking great so hope to see you all there.
John
Looking fowrard to it , hopefully we can get a few more out enjoying the southerly 
hi. I plan to be there. The forecast looked fantastic yesterday but more west in the morning now. :( South west is really swirly and gusty. Hope it goes south quickly.
Great day racing. Thanks for the handicap start, the close finishes were real fun. Sorry for bailing on the third race. How was the wind? Sure was a fast ride back to the sailing club. :) I plan to be there , but remember its easter saturday. Sorry once again I need to be leaving by 4pm.
Yes it was a great day to be out on the water, the breeze freshened again for the 3rd race and the reaches back to the club were sensational.
Yes it's easter next weekend, I'm playing golf in the morning but planning to sail. Might be slightly late depending what time I get out of golf.
Fingers crossed we get another breeze like yesterday.
I should be able to get out there the Saturday after Easter. Sorry but work and stuff I do not get every Saturday free.
I may potentially be running a little late as well so to save time I will launch from Tascott and meet you in the middle, hopefully we might get to 10 knots
Im at gosford and the wind is mostly absent. Not sure whether to rig up. Might take a long time to meet up coming from tascot.
I'm headed down shortly. Got held up this morning. Pete has a flat battery in his vehicle so not sure he'll make it.
Nothing under sail in sight. Gosford observatory averages all well under 5 knts. Im going to pack up and leave at 2pm. Dont think it would be fun out there today.
Hi Lyndon,
Pete and I managed to get one race in last Saturday, and Pete took my Lechner for a run. While it wasn't as exciting as the past couple of weeks it wasn't too bad out in the bay, although the work back to the club was a slow one.
See you guys again this Saturday if you're free. I might not be there till about 2pm though so feel free to start without me.
I have got this coming Friday off and will hopefully get out around 2pm, forecast looks good out of the NE, should be ok for follow up on Sat
Hi I will do my best to be there this Saturday. Might be closer to 3pm for me. Don't wait for me, I will find you out there.
Regards
Peter
Hi guys. My sons playing soccer 130 to 230 so add me to the late list. For once I can stay till dark. The weather looks better the later we leave it. If there's no parking at the club I might launch from the japanese gardens and be closer to the bay. I sailed the NE today friday. Thought it would build but it died at about 6pm and I struggled home in the dark :(
To all you guys and gals who cant join our races due to lack of equipment I've decided to sell my beloved F2. Ive had it for 20 yrs. Everything works perfectly, it weighs under 14kg with straps but no CB. Its a great board but at 250 litres Im too heavy for it. I want $1000 for it . I'm not interested in offers. It has a power box and is lighter than earlier versions. I think the CB is a bit bigger too but Im not certain about that. The cassette CB works so well I wish all boards had them. Board even has original mechanical uni joint.
It's pretty calm down here at Gosford, almost glassed over. Birth Peters can't make it today so just you and me Lyndon, depending how keen you are.
Hi,
I'm keen on your board, any chance I could catch up for a look soon?

Hey I think I just closed the deal on a RS D2 Exocet. Not sure when Im going to be able to pick it up.
I'm glad there is interest in the F2.
Thanks for the sail today John. Cant believe you can have a good sail like that with such terrible wind. The D2 was amazing Thanks for the try of it. But I think you were matching me when you were on the cave man when you were concentrating. Might do even better if the boom wasn't so high. The 9.5 race-board sail felt very powerful without being as heavy as mine.
Any Idea what vintage this lightning would be, it has a powerbox.
Mast track was slipping, I noticed the metal bar that looks like it locks the base was out of place, I corrected it and will have to test on the water but does anyone know of any common problems and solutions with lightning mast tracks
That black and purple sticker is the only marking left on it
Hi guys, My old caveman longboard needs new gaskets and I can't find the material anywhere. Does anyone know where I can get it?

There was a heavy duty gasket under the counter at windsurfnsnow a month or so ago. Not sure what board it was intended for but it looked plenty wide and long.
Years ago I was told to put sticky back on my gasket as seen in the photos. I did this because my previous boards gasket split very early. Any way Ive never had a problem, although the sticky back could do with replacing. I actually bought spare gaskets 20 yrs ago expecting them to fail and I still have brand new spares I will pass on with the board.
