Kids learner gear

Hi Alan,

From the lack of responses here you can imagine that these rigs are not too common, I know of only a few in the state and they probably wouldn't be parting with them anytime soon,

We are looking at hoilding some come and try days at West Lakes in the summer, maybe you could come and have a go with your groms,

You may want to look interstate for one, if you are looking to purchase,

I have some experience with the small Ezzy Rigs, we had a 2.0 and a 2.5 that rigged on an aluminium mast and soft grip boom, super light and easy to use,

Severne do small sails for kids, these sails (we have one) are just smaller versions of the adult sails, tough as nails (plus you could use it if it ever blows 50 knots!)

Dave,

Thanks for the info I have seen some occasionally interstate so might have to keep an eye out.
Alan

Here're some guidelines from Simon Bornhoft (Boards (Sept11) magazine):
board vol (L) - 3x to 4x body mass (kg)
(<28cm fin and centre fin/small daggerboard)
Sail size
5-6 yo 1.0 - 1.5 m2 kids's rig
6-8 yo 1.5 - 2.0 m2 kids'
8-10 yo 1.5 - 2.5 m2 kids'
10-12 yo 2.0 - 2.5 m2 kids'
12-14 yo 2.5 - 3.5 m2 kids'
They suggest towing them behind you ( 5m line) in flat non-planing conditions

Thanks for all advice/ feedback Zerky has offered his kids rig so hopefully get some kids on the water this summer
Cheers Al
