Luke Baillie Qld High Performance Program Member had a fair bit of trouble with delivery of gear from Pryde UK, where he had to stay in Weymouth an extra 2 days after 2 weeks of gear not turning up.
I spoke to him last night as he was watching the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace. Apparently he will finally have his board travel cover just before he and Tim Gourlay (from West Aus) go across on the Ferry to Denmark (RSX Worlds).
In this photo he got a 5th so he finally started to get some speed out of the new gear. At the moment Luke looks like top ranked Aus men’s RSX sailor.
Lets hope this new found speed travels with him and his team mates to Denmark (120 RSX men – 75 RSX women competitors).
