Gees... now I remember why I don't come to this forum very often... :(
What a shame you guys are. What a shame.
I come here to learn about, talk about and share stories about Lasers. Not my grandma :D
Hiya. Carcoar Dam is half-way between Bathurst and Cowra, in NSW's Central West. About 3 1/2 - 4 hours west of Sydney.

you'd be more than...
Looking forward to that. I'm looking forward to geting along and watching the Terrigal Regatta too... a little birdy told me they may need volunteers to help out? I'm sending an email as we speak! heh heh
Hey! You've been sailing out my way, surely?!? lol
Thanks heaps for those amazing series of photos too, mastermike and you guys! The #3 one is just waaay too intense! whoo hoo!
That sounds awesome! Where in Cairns do you sail? In and around the harbour, or outside? I was up there about a month ago... perfect sailing weather, but alas I didnt get the opportunity to get out on the water :(

From what I've read, the 'wobble' described here isn't good. But the 'humming' debate is still up in the air. About half the argumemnts say that the boards 'humming' when at speed is a good thing, and hald say it's not! So - take your pick! heh heh
It's still an awesome sound when it happens tho...
A bit more tension in the elastic should do the trick... that's what I found, yeah. But also check the rubber brake at the rear of the box, as Russell suggested too.
Enjoy :)
Fantastic! Congratulations. It's wonderful to keep being reminded how people have developed things we just take for granted nowdays. Thank you, Peter Seidenberg [thumbs up]
wow... that just looks absolutely... bezerk! heh heh I dunno if you'd get *me* on one of those... yet...! ;) I'm happy being about 92-ish kgs with my standard rig at the moment, thanks all the same! [laughs]
Here's a few 'search' threads about long distance Lasering... enjoy :)
