I've been thinking about getting an old formula board for a while now..... Got one this morning  Yes I know Annie, but Borgy still has more sails!  I think....  I got an old Kinetic Formula 95 and put my 7.8 lightning on it with the largish huge Leading Edge weedie that came with it. The wind seemed a bit lighter than the 15 knots Seabreeze was recording, but it was plenty for the old Kinetic!

The deck was a tad slippery... so I resorted to waterstarting in the straps, which is surpirsing easy with 150 litres under your feet! I've driven a couple of 200+ tonne ferries and this thing drove a bit the same.... lots of foot pressure, nothing happening, more foot pressure, nothing happen, even more foot pressure then bang off it goes, then lots of reverse foot pressure to stop it! But bloody hell was it fun! Point it and off you go!! Broad reaches and cranking up wind are heaps of fun.

Cheryl, Danny, Steve and I think Borgy were out. There was even some wind out past the sandbar and everyone seemed to be planning most of the time, where was the rest of the team?!

Isonic 76, N 6.6m, Melville

Futura 122, 6.5 T3, 40cm Drake

Stuffed up. Should have gone the 141 and 7.5.  Arrived and saw people planing on 6's.  Went out back and found some gusts, but kept getting slammed by chop or stopping dead in lulls. Bit fatigued with previous two days of sailing.  Wondered who was straightlining across the pond at break neck speed - Scotty.  Saw Danny and Steve testing.  Cheryl must have a new sail.  Couldn't pick her.
