Sorry, no formula Will.
This is the first time there has been a Windsurfer State Titles for years (if not decades) so we have selected the most accessible and popular windsurfer classes.
Maybe we could rustle up a Techno for you to race if you have an 8.5 to put on it.

Is it just the mast that is non OD, or the board also?
If it is just the non-stock mast, that should be fine Relic....as long as it isn't some rdm 100% carbon thing that weights nothing. I have a mast which is pretty close that I could lend you if needed.
The intent it to be a little flexible without giving anyone an unfair advantage.

Hey Relic.
i imagine it a pretty " social event".
with a lot of your old windsurfing mates that gave up in the 90,s now out to have some fun. , T. Jones, A. sharman, C. bridges etc. Poly maybe?? maybes???
worth going along if you have a OD and its your thing..
should be fun i reckon.

I just paid entry fee for r300 class.
Anyone else going in event. Only names I see are the original guys.
Entries close tomorrow
To anyone intending to join Windsurfing Tasmania who is not already a member, you can join as a SOCIAL member at $35 (not $50 for full competitor rate).
Ideally, anyone wanting to join is asked to do it by email prior to the weekend (meaning there is less for us to organise on the day).
Clarence
Wind is looking perfect- 5-10 knots in the morning and 10-15 knots in the afternoon on both days.
This will give an ideal mix of conditions for all the sailors and boards.
For those who are not used to racing around the buoys, please check the notice of race (NOR) for times, equipment, rules etc.

AS there are a whole bundle of classes and competitors, it will be more tightly organised than a typical WT "off the beach" event.
For example- PFDs are a requirment (as is the case with any Australian Sailing or WT flatwater event).
Also might be worth brushing up on the racing rules generally.
Alan and I have just paid our entry.
We will do a day trip and sail on the Saturday.
I'm going to need watch the water rules video. I haven't sailed a race since I was a teenager !
Picked up my new LT this afternoon and about to enter ...
Forecast looks great for some Derwent River racing!
