The new Windsurfer One Design and Long Board sailing date is Saturday 13 September at Bribie Island. Meet at 10am if teh wind is South East at Bongaree, if North East at Sandstone Point. Please invite your friends to come along and join the fun with some great people on the water. Hope to see you out there and remember Peter Nitschke has plenty of WO boards you can use. If you have questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Won't be able to make it on Saturday (working etc.), but...
I'll be racing at LCSC on Sunday. We had a good turnout last weekend. At one point we had on the lake:
* 1 X Phantom 377
* 2 X Phantom 320s
* 3 X Phantom 295s
* 1 X Wally.
Perhaps I'm missing something...I could use the company of more retro-grouches.
Reclaim the lake!
Was great fun at the lake Duncan (thouroughly enjoyed the racing),
we will both certainly be back for more.
Looks like Theresa could be hooked, anyone got a Phantom 295 for sale?
Yep I'm in
Cheers Jeff
Ps will try to enspire some of the locals
I nominate tony Nowork!! To take the longboard challenge

At the speed Theresa went planing past me, she'll need a one-bucket-on-a-string handicap.
i was wondering,
if we go to pebble beach if it's SE then we can also possibly use our not so long gear.........
Yep J, we'll meet at the car park on the left just before Bribie Island bridge and decide where we'll go then. See you all at 10am :)
had a really good time guys. thanks for organising the day peter and peter and thanks pete for opening up your gear store for all to use. always enjoy the catch up!
I can confirm the family also had a ball. grass tobogganing being their pick from today.

Was Theresa sailing a 295? I have just purchased one and interested to know how it went in the Racing against the other boards and in what conditions.

In the meantime, there's course racing on every Sunday at LCSC, with yours truly on a Wally (would love some company) and assorted others chasing each other around (last weekend there were 3 Phantom 295s and a 377 out).
Two races are held each Sunday, 11:00ish and 13:30ish. This Sunday there is a club General Meeting in the morning so both races will be held back to back after 12:30. Oh, and most importantly, the cheapest beers and the best view in Boreen Point at the club bar afterwards.
Be there, or be left behind.

Yeah, Theresa was on a 295. Wind was up and down a bit, so in sub-planing conditions waterline length has the advantage. All things being equal, the longer raceboards like the 377 will blow the 295 away in all conditions I suppose. In a blow, the gap would narrow I guess once up on the plane. With the smaller board being easier to handle, for a less experienced sailor less time in the drink might bring a better result for that individual.
Are you doing an more of these Wally days?
We have our regular club races at Lake Cootharaba this weekend if anyone wants to join in.
Coaching and assistance is available as well as some loan equipment.
