After the last sail of Karma showing up a few faults I decided that it was best to stick with Tiger for the easter state championships So I have spent some time checking and preparing the old boat for the event. Meanwhile I have decided to change a few details on Karma which have put it out of service for a few days, so no more testing till after easter.
But Tiger is looking good. I have fine sanded the foils and fixed some slop in the twist tiller mechanism.
Raced Tiger last week in a solid 20kt southerly, and had a good race with Steve and Andrew, staying within one swim or a couple of minutes all the way around. Great rides too.
Easter in NSW is traditionally light, rainy and or fresh. This year the forecast looks like some drizzle with 10kts Friday, less on sunday and hopefully a 12-15 NE on Sunday. Monday we get to watch the 12s who's event goes for 4 days. Should be good enough, with my drift conditions most likely on saturday.
There should be a couple of new Mach2s arriving today for Scott and Robbo, so we will see how good te production boats loook and go. AMAC promises to be here too with the #1 Geelong boat.
Not sure about Bladerider presence. Only know of John Harris but he has not raced moths since Geelong.
