The first weekend in December has been set as the annual date for the Queensland Raceboard state tiles. This event will be held in conjunction with the annual Monomasters regatta at the Lake Cootharaba sailing club.

Because of the short notice for 2008, there will not be championship trophies issued this year but there will be prizes given for first Womens, Mens and juniors raceboard sailers.

The notice of race for the monomasters regatta on the 6th and 7th of December is available on the web site lcsc.org.au/ The equipment rules for international Raceboard class will apply.

Come and join the resurgence of longboard windsurfing. With the major brands now selling new models in the raceboard class, the time has come to get this event on again.

If you have an old raceboard sitting in your garage, why not bring it out and have a race. If you would like to sell your old raceboard, why not bring it along with a for sale sign. There will no doubt be some buyers at this event as well.

The international Raceboard class is not limited to one design and I am not sure if it excludes formula. I will check that.

Formula racers and one design are welcome to join in the Monomasters regatta and if sufficient numbers are present, we can also award a separate prize for those categories.

I had thought that a separate state titles may be run for formula in case some sailors would like to contest both Formula and Raceboard. There is no reason not to run them together if that is what sailors want.

thanks tony,

i am trying to attend, i will either be on a borrowed one design or the formula kit.

i use an 8.5 on the formula.

no need to set up other classes etc. i'll just follow the lead and sail around the course.

might bring a friend or 2 though.

p.s. no guarantees as i have kids.
