Hey Fellow Formula sailors. I have approached the KBSC and they are happy or host us for three saturday afternoon races (two races per day) during their 2013/2014 season. This is in addtion to sailing in the March regatta.
Here is our chance. All we have to do it agree on three dates. I'm thinking one in early Dec and then late Jan and then Feb.
Let me know what you want?
Lets make the most of this!!!
Koombana bay is a great location to sail/race. A small nomination fee is all that is required along with a life jacket. The facilitied are great and the bar stays open late on Saturday nights.
Who's in
I will be in if I am in town. Be great to get some racing in before the Oceanics ( 8th to 12th Jan ??)
Obviously they are happy to have us back after we let them win on handicap last time ;)
Dec Jan Feb seems like a good split. ( Assuming nothing clashes with the WWA calender)
Thanks for putting the effort in to organise Bender
I'll be on big slalom gear but I'm definitely keen to get down there for some racing action if I can!
Update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As reg's cervanties weekend is the first weekend in Dec. lets make the first saturday of racing Saturday 30th November. Come on guys we will get to do at least two races in the arvo. we need three to have our own class otherwise I will be racing the Nacra's.
Who's in???
no probs. will try to arrange to leave my gear with ben.
have a board, 10 and 11 meter severne ssr with mast to suit and boom.
will prob need to bring mast base and extension as will be taking mine to shark bay with me.
Can't do the 30 November Ben, missus is skiving off to Melbourne to smash the credit card that weekend, but keen for the Jan & Feb missions.
Keep us posted, really enjoyed the last regatta.
if you can lay your hands on a severne 490 mast i have a 9.2 reflex as well just in case the wind is up a bit.
They will thrash you Issac!!!!!!!!!!!
I challenge you Terry ! It's on
Yeh I'm keen and I should be in perth for the 30th as for the others let us know when you call the dates
Ok i need some some firm numbers i can take to the Sailing Club for the 30th.
Dont make me appear like a goose by saying your keen and then not showing
Ratz has dropped off to me his formula kit for anyone to use.
It comes with 10&11m sails, boom, mast, mast exstension and a fanatic board. i have fin you can use.

Update. The forecast is looking great for saturday(Glad i've got a 9.2m). I have finalised things with the race comittee.
Will be starting after the Nacra's and sailing the same course as them (triangle sausage triangle) . 2pm start.Registratoins open at 12noon. I will be there about then.
Life jackets must be worn. The NP ones we all wear are accepted. Course sheets will be availible on the day.
See you all there. C'mon you know you want to. We still need more sailors to make it heaps more fun
With the forecast looking so food. Large Slalom Kit would be OK
Just noticed that someone in WA is selling a FW board (*161) for $150. Nice board, would be great if someone keen to race snapped it up...
fyi the Formula Nationals are in Sydney 9-12Jan (same as Ledge race!!!!)...anyway please yell out if anyone keen to come...I will help out as much as possible....
