>Hi all!

>With the 2006/2007 season about to leap upon us, I just thought I'd throw
>together a
>fairly reliable calendar (errors and omissions accepted) for NSW and also
>chuck in some
>rumours and gossip.
>
>
>FAR AND WIDE
>
>Over the past week, there's been an enquiry from Darwin (a very keen sailor
>returning to
>the class and looking for new Junior and standard rigs to fire up the
>locals with) and I still
>hear a new board is headed for Hobart. So we've got the north and south
>ends of the
>country covered!
>
>Word from even further afield is that Houston windsurfer are trying to
>expand their
>"dinosaur racing" series (held on old "Mk 1" Windsurfers) into a US
>Windsurfer One Design
>championship. They normally get about 30 entries for their annual
>round-robin event. And
>on the left coast, a One Design enthusiast is trying to revive fun racing
>in the old Fleet #3
>in California.
>
>Closer to home, Paul Kelly from Cronulla says that there'll be four or five
>Windsurfer One
>Designs racing in Port Hacking's Monday night twilight fleet once again.
>The Wallies
>revived last year and sail with Raceboards.
>
>A group at Vaucluse are still trying to get started for twilight racing.
>There's three
>veterans, who are trying to get some more sailors together to achieve
>critical mass so they
>can get something started.
>
>Illawarra YC is moving more of their Juniors across to One Designs for next
>season.
>
>The Exocet Kona (the Wally Copy from overseas) is scheduling races for
>places as far apart
>as the USA, South Africa, Norway and Portugal. They had over 600 entries
>last year - proof
>that the OD longboard concept works, not that we needed it proven.
>
>And finally, a bunch of new boards are headed for the Yarrawonga Wally
>section.

>WINTER RACING
>
>Both DAC and Parkdale raced over winter. The Parkdalians went down to
>Sorrento for a
>very cold weekend (results still to come) while the DACcers' four-round
>series was mostly
>sailed in warm (ish) and sunny conditions. As usual, the One Designs were
>the biggest and
>most consistent class, ahead of the Raceboards and Dinghies. Chris Thompson
>won, with
>Deb Apthorp putting in some very good races at the end for second, and
>light-weather
>expert Steve Barton in third. Marty missed too many races to score, but
>dominated the
>later events when some traitor moved over to the Lasers. Thanks to all who
>supported the
>class.

>WINDSURFER ANNUAL

>I'm still trying to finish a One Design annual, to be used as a marketing
>tool. If anyone

>line....PLEASE!
