It was a bit much for my skills today, had issues trying to bear off at the start of runs, by the time I was getting things under control it was time to stop!

Can't wait to see everyone else's results, should be good!

What a day!  Stoked with the PB's Tongue out, especially the 2sec which was a long time coming!! Plenty out giving their best which made it a great atmosphere. First time on the reflex and loved it cant wait to sail it some more! Third channel was the definintely the go today and has some real potential to produce even greater speeds. Congrats to everyone else who got a pb today as it was some hard sailing out there.

Well I've got a lot say.  Very happy with the 2sec, but blew my 5X10 by spending more time travelling backwards and forwards to the car.

Nice couple of runs to start with at mid 42's.  Then while sailing up to the 3rd channel the mast decided to commit suicide.  Headed back to the car to get the old trusty Code Red and the RDM Ezzy mast and broke my little toe on a tree root.  Headed out to the 3rd channel and did two tentative runs to check it.  On the 3rd run I went for it and hung on to get my 2sec but paid the price by loosing it and catapulting straight into the sail as the harness line broke.  I limped back to the car and changed to the next sail I could find(reluctantly) and headed back up to the channel.  First run down I lost it in the chop again, recieved another catapult and totalled the boom.  Had to walk back to the car and change the boom.  Heading back out most guys were heading in.  I got out there to find the tide filling in too much and a fair amount of chop getting into run so called it a day.  Mixed feelings about today, I'm very stoked, but also really dissapointed, there was a lot of potential today to get some really big improvements on the PB's, if only I could have stayed on the water. 

Sorry Perks we'll have to call the tassie record to the Red teamWink  Izaak Who?Wink

5.4 Overdrive  W44  Slingshot 21

It was honking!! Really worth the drive but my arms couldn't go on, I had nothing left in the tank, need a smaller sail, those guys are strong staying out there for so long in such howling conditions. First real go on the speedboard, took a while to get used to it and flying down wind so powered up was rather scarey but great funSmile Well done to everyone, so many PB's, it was great sailing with the pro's!

First go with the Isonic. Feels brilliant. Unfortunately I was way underpowered and the wind dropped out after twenty minutes :-(

Nice sail at stanley, nothing really came easy for me today. I had 42 on the dial run after run. It allways felt i was missing the gusts when i pulled up. Anyway cant complain as i got a pb yeiw!! I had a 43.1 on the dial, but fell back due to i did it in the first channel, where it was a very very small area and just could not hold it long enough. Well done to all on their PB's, well deserved as it was less than ideal conditions at times with some big chop. Kaleb you will have to leave severne now as you are giving them a bad name haha. well done anyway.

Thanks men, Houston you wont be happy when you see Veitz's post, top effort first go on a speed board. We need a new name for Kaleb I think 'wrecker' would be appropriate after today.

Huge congrats Jordan a long time to get over the milestone, welcome to the 40 kt club.Cool

Jordan I used the gps without the 42 kts on the dial to post. I didnt have a card in it out sailing and when I put one in I couldnt find any data. CryDoesn't matter but 42 did put a smile on the dial, at least I know its possible.

Tom congrats on the PBs after a few good crashes

Perks I think I found out your secret to speed out there today, I noticed you stashed a 'Man Bag" full of go fast stuff half way down the run,Wink mmm may have to invest. Nice pb though

Izaak good to see you get a pb on Tassie water

We even had a blow in from Vic today good to see you Andrew

It may have got back to the reds by .1 but remember what you said its all about the 5x10 not just the one run wonders (like me) haha. So the blues win the day!!! Well done anyway mate you deserved it after all the frustration of damage. Can't believe the mast broke in the reflex3 in the first place!!

Another "Easy month " for us to win Yell Looks like its going to be an interesting year with all these new spots being found.

I feel your pain Kaleb, my tally for 4 months is  1 broken finger, 1 broken little toe, 1 bung eye, some very sore ribs V 1 mast, a few smashed fins and some large dints in the CA from a star stake. Time for a new black cat for both of us Wink

Congrats on all the PBs guys.  Impressive set of numbers all round.  It's definitely been a great start to the year between yourselves and the SA Speed demons although give me warm water and sunshine over having to suit up in 5mm rubber everytime you sail - I don't know how you do it.

[edit] just read your post Kaleb - that's a day you won't forget for a while for all the wrong reasons. one word, "expensive".Yell  Consolation prize on bragging rights for the 2sec peak though.

  well done team but  i think if anyone has bragging rights here it is veitzy.  here is a guy who said to me last week ' i am going to borrow a slalom board and rig and show these guys' .

  well he did ,  never owned a slalom board or sail. or  gps unit.   No practicing-  just goes out and gets over 40.

Excellent effort on everyones PB,s.

Except Veitsy & I looked like beginners trying to get on our speed boardsFoot in mouth Trying to get on a tiny little board going downwind and fully powered up was a big learning curve, once you were up planning it was easy it was the getting on bit that was challenging.Cool

Well done Kaleb on your fastest speed, the reading on the dial I saw was right!! Wasn't it worth all that expenseWink

Helga & Astrid don't you get cyclones up there?Wink Yes Tassie got one thing going for it......strong wind!! Definitely worth a road trip and I'd be able to sail with some girls for a change! But the guys here are great, very encouraging and supportive.

Well done to everyone on their PB's at Stanley.  Jordan, you finally got that 40 and Kazza top womens speed of the GPS TC!!  Well done Kaleb with the fastest ever 2-second in Tasmania!!!  Johno, shows having a rest is not such a bad thing!!  Izaak and Anthony - no 2-sec PB, but both achieving 5x10 PB's is pretty awesome!!

Vietzy, your effort is probably the most impressive of all.  Cracking the 40 knot barrier is not easy and you just went out an did it with virtually no experience at 'speed' sailing at all.  That is gutsy, as it's the 'not knowing where the limits are' that is half the battle - pushing them is the other and you must have been pushing it big time!!

Wish I could have been there, hopefully next time!!

Cyclones are usually further North than the Sunshine Coast but we do get big lowsthat form off the coast As well as wind we get lots of rain. We have a rain weather warning at the moment. I hope the highways not going to be cut we wanted to head up to Burrum Heads tomorrow.
