It's in the class rules, filed under 'miscellaneous ghey attire' along with Dakine impact vests, orthopaedic supports and tinted spectacles  LOL

Dead  where's sunday's blast gone?  20 knots forecast yesterday, I was going to bring a board and get some lessons from Graeme, assuming all his windsurfing talk wasn't just a load of bovine manure...

The Icon usually sails off 1020, but you may want to give them a small penalty - about 940 should be right ;-)

I believe the Blaze is 1180 or there abouts.

Kiteboard - unrated, I recommend scoring a DNS and asking Rodney to buy the poor b**tard a beer

Megabyte - she's a girl sailing a man's boat, but once she's eaten a banana, she turns into a Kestral sailor with a new centreboard that doesn't fit.  Expect to see mucho bimblage... and if she makes the start  Thumbs Up give her a suitable girlie handicap

Icon - it's a bandit, we all know it's a bandit (besides if say the word 'bandit' enough then the there's no smoke without a bandit's fire observations will apply before Mike can say 'Boo Kite Boo' whilst sticking his fingers in his ears one more time)  So best give it a anti-bandit handicap of 950 and tell him to put a 'kite-sock in it' if he moans too much.  Do you stock that Despardo Tequilla Beer in chiller btw?  

Laser 2000 - It's only Rockhopper, he's about 6ft 10 and can hike like one of them poorly misguided squad kids who thinks he's going to be the next Ben Ainslie.  Probably rate it around 1000... same as an RS300.

X1 - it's a gentleman's boat, and gentlemen will accept whatever you give them without making a fuss.

Minisail - give Rupert 1020 and his son 1500.  Just so father is suitably whipped and rattled on the journey home

The Kiteboard sailor has been sectioned so will not be competing.
Megabyte is switched to a Kestrel - PY 1040
Icon - PY 1020
Laser 2000 - PY 1090 (I think)
X1 - PY 955 (I think) 
Minisail - ? Rupert - HELP!
