no theres no yard stick
theres not really any point to a formula class yard stick as the performance through a wind range is completely unrelated to just about any other sailing boat with the exception of a moth so if a yard stick was made it would very rarely be accurite

KBSC will still want one though so i suggest we use the same yard stick as the cherubs

Good one Bender
My old home club from years gone by.
KBSC used to operate full sailboard races late eighties / early 90's (longboards as there was no formula) on Sundays (Club would provide start crew and rescue boat) and yes cock of the bay race used to have sailboards in it.
Best of luck

Just got these details for the Sailing Club

"Rego is from 10 am to 12 pm on Saturday. You guys can rig up right in front of the club house, then you can just jump the wall and leave the beach. Also, its close to the bar and the best lawn. Racing starts at 1400"

We will all need to wear life jackets. The standard NP ones we all wear will be fine.

Bring it on!!
