Great afternoon of slalom racing at Marmong yesterday, with a bit of formula beforehand.
Starring Tibor, Bruce, Ian, Adam, Mick, Glenn and Cluffy, with Nev and Geoff on the boat.
really cool video!!
you guys are champions! looked really windy
particularly liked watching the Formula boards coming downwind
Great stuff! Loved Tibor flying downwind on the formula jumping off the backs of chop. Now wonder Tibor & Bruce kill speed sailing!
Great slalom action later too. Really must get off my bum and do some B & J at Marmong..
Marmong is a great location in a Southerly. Comes straight down the bay/harbour....
Have enjoyed many a FW race up there in that direction....
The footage of me stacking it in a gybe is moments before I went through my 8.6 and burst out the other side of it like some deranged circus clown. I spent last night doing skin grafts with xply sticky back it looks awful and will probably rig likewise. Unfortunately my stack was nothing compared to the fender bender James and Steve had. Everyone is ok thankfully but shame about your gear fellas
At least you could repair your sail Cluffy. My Severne 7.7 is unrepairable as it has torn the internal luff pocket webbing to shreds and unfortunately the sail involved in the crash no amount of sticky back could save it.
Great video James. Looks like a few of you guys might have caught the high wind Formula bug also! Some nice nice slalom carnage on display too.
How very lucky you guys are to have Geoff & Nev on hand. Looks like they had them kind of full! Nice work all.
