Hi mark sorry I didn't report back when I was down there.
Didn't have alot of internet access down there.
But what can I say if you love speed sailing sandy point

Damn shame i missed it. What sort of wind did you get to do those speeds? So your top speed was done on the wind action?

You didnt miss much with the racing here, really sucky conditions for racing at manly.

Now that your a pro at going fast maybe you can show me some go faster tips

Mark the strongest day was a 40 knot westerly.
not the best direction for flat water needs to have more south in it.
my best speeds were done on a WSW 20-25 knots with my 6.0 M sail and windaction board. Bloody fast those windactions.
Mark there's always next year I think Dave might come as well.
I hear that they had racing on at manly on Sunday in a westerly
that must of been interesting, did you enter.
About those speed tips, well your going quick enough just get out there and sail.

Yeah about dave, I found your Speed custom... your gonna cry when you see it

Yeah it was in a westerly, generally it was either overpowered or not planing. You probably would have done quite well if you'd raced. As for me it was a day of taking out the wrong gear, I'm going to have get out there before racing starts in future.
