Hi Jim there is a pretty strong slalom racing scene up here though the wind hasn't played very fair so far see www.baysidesailboards.com.au/.
They do race the bic tecno and rsx from the yachting qld depeding what your into
.
Thanks for the link just checked it out looks like you guys have a state titles this month I'll have to come down and say gday.I'm interested in slalom i bought a hypersonic 111 and a decent sail but im going to have to do some training to keep up.I'm alos interested in the formula scene too,are there any other clubs that support the formula class?
No formula at present but maybe with the lack of wind at present it may make a revival
The nearest thing to formula racing would be the RSX crew sailing at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron. I have sailed my Phantom 320 with them. I Suspect that they would allow you to join the race on a Formula board as well. The RSX racers are very good and the RSX board works like the formula when planing so you will be doing well to keep up with them.
They do have races pretty much every Saturday.

I race my Starboard phantom 320 in the dinghy fleet at the Lake Cootharaba Sailing club almost every Sunday. I am the only sailboards in the fleet but you are welcome to join us there as well if you are on the sunshine coast sometime. The lake is a nice place to sail anyway.
