Well, it's only about 8 weeks now till the speed season officially kicks off in Vic.

From the response to my post a couple of months back asking for the dates for Al Green's Speed Fortnight and Speedweek this year;

- Al Green confirmed his fortnight will be on again (27 Sept - 12 Oct)

- The WV/KA Speedweek was "being discussed" by the potential organisers.
- Checked the WV site - they still had last years events up (pathetic)
- gave KA a call - they couldn't confirm dates or even if it would be on

Well, I've got to book the Annual Leave to get to these (if I leave it any longer, the boss is likely to knock me back), so I'm going to book a week's leave (i.e. will end up with 9 days) at Al Green's little happening.

As for "Speedweek", well, if WV/KA can't get their act together, fine. It's their exposure and their reputation that loses out.

If I recall right "Mathew" mentioned he might book a house - was this for Al Green's event, and if so have you made a booking yet? If so, is there a spare bunk?

Cheers.

I,ve just ordered a new speedboard which should arrive before Al,s event. I will now have a spare 9' x 18" speedboard for anyone to borrow during the event. Its good for a 40 kt ave on the right day. So bring your small fins and sails and have a go at speedsailing at the best place in the world. One condition.....No going faster than me

I'll throw in the POS-custom too - its good for 38's - only a few weeks of sailing stress by a stingy bastard. You will however require at least 35kn of wind before its buoyancy is effective...

On a serious note, I have a spare Select 26 which would probably fit either board - you are welcome to hit me up for it.
