Geez maximus you're really taking this PB thing to heart. 34 knots is flying! Were you on the RS 6.7?

Was on the Hyper111 & Rx1 5.8. Only really had 1 big gust and it was choppy. Would like to go somewhere very flat like Yamba soon. Used the 6.7 RS Racing on Saturday and got 32.4, but was getting overpowered in the end.

Me again

I think the best way for us to move up the rankings is to post some good 1 hour times, better than 6knots should do it.

Keen to help, just need to organise a weekend with wind... if we can all get our stuff sorted and strap the GPS on then bingo. I'm also keen for a trip up north if any of you guys want to meet up at a strategic location

Nice Alpha Maximius ( On Hypersonic to, the board few can gybe ), Shame we didn't get it on the same day. Would have given us a better result. Working on these Alpha's and NM is going to force us to be better at gybing. Better racers as well.

Also well done MKSeven a PB 5x100. That is a hard one to get a faster result. A great team comtribution.

Congrats QldSalty on the PB! Now there's only one URRR HUMMM left... and he's getting married or something (as if that's any excuse).

Bit early to tell, but there may be some form of westerly on the weekend... might have to venture the extra 5 km to wello. Do you guys have anywhere to sail in a westerly?

Thanks Nebs, I'm out this Sunday, but right the next weekend.

I noticed Fitz66 also did a PB 5x100 on Sunday. That yellow thommen is becoming a yellow streak. S. you must be stoked on that board.

Yeah Salty, I'm pretty happy with it, its good to get a pb on my second day of using it. On flat water there's plenty of potential. Once I've shown it who's boss through the gybes I should be able to improve on the alpha as well

No sailing for me this weekend.. I'm off to Noosa with Mrs Fitz66 for a long weekend, she has just informed me she is Fitz75, a newer model, not an old bugger like me.

Unbelievable that he cracked 26 knots, that is unheard of.

In other news we're now beating the pit crew

Did I mention that I'm ?

Great alpha Vando, Is this the same guy who last season told me he has to work on his Gybes? It seems alpha has made us all get better at gybing. The racing this year will be fun.

Holy sh#t Vando that is one impressive alpha.
I thought i was good getting in the low 20's WELL DONE

So what was the gybe like? Was there flames coming off your rails as you flipped the rig or what.

The bar has been lifted some what. Nice work.

I've checked his track, and it looks legitimate to me.

Well done vando, that is very impressive.

RESPEK!

Thanks guys the great thing about alpha racing is you don’t need speed gear to do it and yer it improves your gybes, however gybing on a race course is a totally different matter.
