Hey DJ
i would say when you get that 14 you'll will need a anchor to slow down in those conditions. They look like some sick downwind runs and that wind is perfect, my bet is that all you Melbourne boys will get 14's and never look back, that is until the 17's come out.

Yeah.. That 17'er looks wicked doesn't it..

DJ

It will be interesting to see which board length is ideal for the bay.
We may find the longest boards are not ideal for the Bay Chop wavelength.

Certainly remember early days when I was a 14" Skiff sailor that, when the 18s came to the bay,, they used to talk about the wavelength making it real tough for them..

Basically the nose spending half the time in the back of the next wave.

Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul

Thanks again for the demo's today, what price do you think the 17' will be when it gets here.

Mick

Hey Mick
At a guess i would say it should be around $3000 i could be wrong so please no one shot me if i am. It will have a full rudder system and new upgraded Eco bag which is now a great board bag.
