Gibberjoe, Your only concern should be that we don't break the chain holding the Mainland from drifting North of the Equator.. .
Oooooohh! Scary! What a lovely day Winds were perfect 15 to 20 knots erring towards the top end. Around square on to the beach with the Sand as Hard as a your Forehead.. Paul you were right that sail does bight, seems to generate more power in the head the faster it goes to the point that it becomes hard to hold the Razor in a straight line with the sand zipping by. Logged top speed was disappointing sustained 64kms though I did manage to clock up 42 kms with runs between Smithton and Stanley as well as a bit of playing with broad sides and spin outs. I did get some footage but that camera is going to have to be replaced.. Be ware HD 720P they aren't a lot of good. All in all I had a bunch of fun but it would have been better sharing it with like minded fellas.

Think the chain is stretching at the rate of 2" (50mm) per year anyway. Won't be long before Australia is part of mainland China

You're expecting that TOO Col?? All China has to do is either walk in here and take over or do it the honest way and Buy us from the rest of the World.. We own bugger all these days, the politicians sold us out long gone..[}:)]
Mind you the Chinese will want to be quick about it as bloody Islam is taking over by stealth through the back door..
We can also blame the UN for that crap.

PS; Bugger Politics.. I bought a Neil Pride Matrix 4.6 over in Melbourne on my way home and set it up to suit my sail. It is a little larger in top diameter and therefore, I believe, a little stiffer than my others. I also fitted a 850mm Wood Plug into it. It is what I used to day on the Razor.
