Hi all
I recently got an oldish formula setup and having great fun on it. Now I am looking for a training partner.
Would be brilliant to build a formula fleet at Hickling. Saturday evening's seabreeze with a 11m was some of the best blasting I've had in years.
There are occansional full setups going for about 700 pounds which is great value for all carbon etc, check out – http://ukwindsurfing.com/forum…..m.php?id=9

Hi Peter, I too was on the water at about 5pm Sat on my formula board but with a daddy of a weed fin – almost unsailable and not to be repeated. Good to hear someone else is enjoying the virtues of the formula kit, I must confess I've had some of my best sailing on Hickling with this board, going fast in very little wind is fantastic. I'm not up for training though and I don't think anyone else has a formula at the club. Maybe others will be encouraged.
Cheers, Martin

Hi – I recently bought a raceboard so that I could get out and sail more in the evenings; have not sailed it much yet but would be keen to meet up and sail with other Formula or raceboards. Maybe it would be worth trying to organise a regular evening racie / training session and treat it as 'allcomers' i.e. sail anything you like and see if any fleets develop. it would be easy to organise setting a simple course around the posts / nav marks, use gate starts so we could start ourseves and finish back up the beach
What do you think?

Peter, Nick sounds like we could get some racing started? I went yesterday to try and have a race with the dinghy fleet but it didn't really come off in the gusty northerly maybe we should keep this post going & people could say when they think they are going to be there so we could get something organised?
what do you think?
