Hi Darryl,

I have discussed this with our race director. We are basing our decision on the submissions for equipment restrictions at the Formula Foil AGM and the subsequent vote by delegates. www.formulawindsurfing.org/news/2675

We are happy to discuss sail sizes once the decision by the class is made public.

Hi Mitch
i see the AGM results are in
Are we going to restrict the length of foil masts too this season?? 1.0m seems very short

I am a little surprised they limited the mast length to 1000mm as there are already a few foils on the market at 1050mm and maybe the longest is the starboard long at 1100mm? Surprised they just didn't just limit it at that as the sweetspot seems to be 950-1000 anyway. It was a very close vote though (11/9) where all the other rules such as max sail size etc passed with a pretty big majority.

Seeing what I can do to make it up, hopefully everything doesn't go covid tits up again

Hi all,

I'll be sailing in the Bay for the week prior to the event and helping with the Regatta. I've booked a house very close in Manly and am happy to share it with anyone visiting for the event. Please message me on here if you're interested and I'll get back to you promptly.

Cheers,

Greg.

Let's see if they let out of jail by then? ??
