Nice one guys 

Gaz I've got a 5.8 Koncept coming 

Onya lads...I was itching to get away early today and have a sail but to no avail. A couple of nice, bright, shiny tableclothes lads...noice. 

Bettter rough than not enough Freddy. Bugger all wind down here mate. New Kermit Gaz? still using my old talon 40 hey, I'd thought it would be a 38 by now :-)

True to Phil...least we had a sail.

Firie...are you still in Cairns...if so , how long??

Billy...what's this about tableclothes....these are not Tushinghams!!

After a big week of work a great way to shake the cobwebs - had been cursed by a bit of a lower back flare up the last month or so - but not today - which is good.  Sunshine and a marginal breeze and a wicked tide/current.  Got some good runs on the iSonic 133 = big fin and my new acquisition - the North S Type - 7.8m - my first real foray into the cambered sail world.  From the get go it felt really mature  - stable - surprisingly easy to rig and de-rig - Ed gave me some tips to stop broken battens.  Lots of grunt.  This sail is going to be a step up from the no-cam - but, not a full on slalom sail.  I think it is going to suit me.  Ended up getting knocked down the beach, but sheeted in the adjustable outhaul and did some real old fashioned sailing into the breeze to get me about 100 metres from home.  Nice way to end the week.  I guess at this time of year we have to be happy with anything we can get.  Still hoping to get a GI session in before the wind goes forever again.  Great to see a few of the crew got out and into it today.

Firie - I've got a 5.8 sitting here as well.

Phil - Still the original Kermit. Must be going on six years now!! Kermit has a smaller brother now(Jaffa - orange with a carbon deck). The Talon is still going strong although it hasn't had much use this year due to a serious lack of wind.

Yeh Fred, still here, long story, sorry no contact yet.

Gaz I got a new CA SL87, red of course 

Is that 87 wide or 87 litres firie. I have managed to snag an old CA70 to go with the 58. Go to board for summer Notherlies

Hi Troy, na they've changed from width to liters. Replacing my SL58 for a SL87 which is 59 wide and a bit shorter but the replacement beast. My last two SL58's felt the same to me but the new ones are different, I'm so looking forward to sail it but I'm stuck in Cairns and it's in Mandurah. My light wind board is a CA SL66 which is also my go to board at Coodanup Mandurah because it floats me best in the shallow stuff on take off
