Not a question, just a statement.

Planned my first venture out on the formula board for over two years (dismal failure but that's another story). Drove around my local haunts and finally decided on Taylor's Point on Pittwater. After attempting to rig up and realizing that my new Point 7 sail wouldn't rig up on my old carbon mast, I thought my day was done. Anyway, along rocks Sean (an old friend) and Adam (a new friend) and had a chat, shot the **** for a while and realized that I really missed the non-political comraderie that pervades the local windsurfing scene. it was good to just be part of a friendly group again. Looking forward to the coming season's racing again.

Bring it on

Hey Jethrow.
Regarding the point 7 sail. I had at 11m and tried to rig it on every mast available, but it only works on the specific point 7 mast. It is the most mast specific sail i have ever witnessed. The good news is that it worked really nicely when i rigged it correctly. From memory it needed a lot of downhaul, which was a bit scary.
See you at the first event...cheers
