Raceboard World Championship 2016.
The Australian Windsurfing Association and Windsurfing Queensland are planning for the Raceboard World Championships to be held at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron from the 21st to the 25th of November 2016. This event will include The International Raceboard Class and the Hybrid 310 class.
I don’t know if a world Raceboard championship has been held in Australia before and may not again for a long time.
We would like to invite Australian Raceboarders to register with us as soon as possible and pay their entry fee of $300 dollars. The fee will be fully refundable if you are unable to participate for any reason or if the event doesn’t go ahead. The organising committee will also be trying to run at a small profit by getting sponsorship. If successful, this profit will be returned to the early entrants as bonus for their support.
To meet our commitments to the International Windsurfing Association, we need some money in the bank. And we need to know how many Australian members will want to participate in this event. That is why we are asking for your assistance so far ahead. Our volunteers are working very hard to make it happen.
Please help us by entering and paying now.
You can do so by emailing me for further details tony.matta@hotmail.com.

The last couple of Raceboard World Championships have had over 100 competitors from 17 countries and been a lot of fun on both the sailing and social fronts. This is a great opportunity to have a local World Championships with competitors from all over the world racing on Moreton Bay. The 2015 Worlds are in Poland in June. http://www.rcb.ergohestiacup.pl/en/
See www.raceboard.org for more information on the class. Get a board or dust off an old one and get into a bit of racing, great fun and you get to go for a sail in a broad range of conditions, it's always fun, you don't have to wait for ideal conditions to suit your gear, so you get more sailing in!
A great event in the making - get behind it!
We are in the process of assessing the demand for charter equipment for the 2016 world championships in Brisbane.
Proposed pricing is $1000 for a phantom 377 with severn 8.5 or 9.5m raceboard rig.
Would any Aussies who don't own Raceboards be interested in chartering gear for the event?
