Burrum here we come. Yee haa. Dave and Geraldine plus 2 doggies leaving tommorow (Mon 24th Mar) from Hobart. Thanks so much guys for doing this. Dave and Steve's gear. Top left to bottom W49, 117, 97, 80, Top right to bottom 87, W49, 97, 107. 127 on roof racks. A dozen masts, 4 booms, 40 fins and a heap of Overdrive and Reflex sails. OK so we got a little carried away
Love the photo of the trailer reminds me of the many Sandy point trips.
trailer full with 3 people's gear carnt leave it at home you never know.
see you guys there.
The countdown starts now. This is not a first time SB make their weather forecast / prediction completely wrong
Trying to be positive looking at Burrum 2012 it was if I remember the same sort of weather pattern leading up to the Windfest and it did turn out ok. Not so good was the trip up as many of us got stuck in the floods around Gympie but it turned out to be worth the trip.
Hi Salt Flavored Speed People,
Off topic in some ways but speed under sail has been a hot subject for hundreds of years, formal racing or mainly just two craft under sail on a similar bearing.
One of the Australian speed icons of yesteryear I am told is (after this major refit) to very soon be under going trials at Burrum.
"Bullfrog" many moons ago shattered the Trans Tasman. This is decades before "Yellow Pages" or "Maquarie Inovation".
Granted Sandy Point and Burrum have little in common with a Trans Tasman except speed.
Bullfrog looks (under good conditions) to be good for way more than 35 knts.
There may be a request for next year's event to include multi hull sailing paraphernalia.
Good speed to all for the meet this year,
plev
can any one give me some contact detail, as i wont make it down,looks like a cyclone is forming up here.
Gooday plev,
interesting times In bullfrog.
Easy to discount the seriously outstanding advances made when we just look at the latest speed by windsurfers.
The innovations and dedication of speed sailors' progression we take for granted thru the purchase of the latest board or sail is a reflection of the design, research, proving, and competition results over many iterations of a design programme dedicated to make a turkey like you or I look good ??
Gooday waricle,
Sorry man, you've lost me. I thought my post pointed to some iconic Aussie speed sailing gear of yesteryear,nothing more.
