Many, many years ago, (1972?), the road to Western Australia was unsealed for 300 kms or so. It could take 10 hours to cross it. Nevertheless intrepid (read young and stupid) New South Welshmen, (Skate and VJ sailors) regularly made the trip with boats on roof racks. On one occasion, according to legend, one pair of brothers managed to roll their car in the middle. I’m told that they surveyed the damage and simply walked away and left it there.?? There was no sign of it two or three years later when I made the crossing. (We were smarter, we put two VJ’s on a box trailer!!) The point of all this is the bulk of a sabre on the roof of a Barina will almost certainly lead to a rollover. Very nasty.
That’s what we’ve been talking to them about but we have to build a fleet first. It might take a few seasons. There are lots of spirals and Lasers up there so who knows?
Thanks Barrie. I am one of the people trying to reinvigorate the NSW association so having a handle on these will be helpful. We will certainly be in touch but can I ask are you happy to clarify these rule change as necessary? A few of us are looking at starting the class at a second Sydney club -BYRA on Pittwater so will keep everyone informed as to how we go..
