Drag Race for Aussies; 1st day Spring Cup Dutchies

The Australians will do a weekend of drag racing at Kembla. We Dutch sailors are unpacking our boats from winter storage and prepping them for this coming sunday 3rd april. The 1st sunday in a 4 sunday bouy race series called the Spring cup. We are all very rusty from last winter so don't expect miracles.

3 F16 teams will be there ; I'm taking a 4th F16 owner (builder) along on my boat. His Taipan F16 should be ready later this spring. But sadly is still awaiting a mast and sails. Some others still felt it to early to dip their toes in the cold water. So the sailing will be done by A Stealth F16, a Taipana 4.9 + spi and a Typhoon F16 (Taipan F16). The first Blade F16 on European soil will arrive later this spring; so no Blade at this event yet.

I wish all the Australians perfect sailing conditions and lots of fun at the end of their season !
