F111, OD 8.5 & CF 38 - Watched Borgy out on his 8.5 for a while..... Ok for ages, I was in complete denial, I'm not rigging bigger than a 7, the wind is going to fill in!!  Glenno headed home, then finally I conceided defeat and rigged the biggest gear I had in the car.  Not too bad of a sail considering, but it wasn't long before it swung and dropped right out. Almost had a walk of shame  but just managed a final upwind run, with a bit of slogging to get me home 

Futura 141, Lightning 8.5m (tuned by Dangerous Davenport), 54cm Canefire

Got down to Melville as the breeze came in (more like a whiff of fresh air than a breeze). Decided to go the 8.5m and 141 and to stay out past the sandbar.  Had some fun with the Sunday yachts and dinghies.  Saw a few of the usual diehards - TROUTY and Co - in the middle.  Not a bad day all round.

6.5 T4 & 94Lt Exocet & FW Weedie

After spending what seemed like a lifetime chatting on the beach & hearing Elmo's shark tales, I decided I had to rig a sail

I was hoping the wind would come in & we had been promised it would happen between 2.30 & 3pm - twas a little late

My fear of big bitey things caused me to take all my gybes very slowly & we all know that is the absolute wrong thing to do, luckily I managed to use a bit of muscle to avoid falling in

Drags were challenging (only to myself) but I had great fun. Also tested a smaller board & managed to get my top speed for the day

Great day - thanks Manudrah Mobbers for making us all so welcome

Exocet Cross 104L with 7.5M T-bird & 38cm Vector

Mandurah Drags: A late start after talking crap for a couple of hours under the trees.

The first race started before I was in the water and I played catch-up most of the day.

Spent most of my time in the rear of the field amongst the girls

Had a go on Annie's new 84L Cross with the 6.5 & was amazed that I got going

Chucked the 7.5 on for a run also & was surprised that it actually carried the big sail.

Had a nice free sail arvo, always nice at Mandurah
