Unconfirmed rumour has Millenium boats sitting on the beach for this year’s Victoria DB festival. Word is that the festival will be using D2 boats from Richmond instead of the archaic Milleniums.

I can only keep my fingers crossed and hope it’s true. Milleniums are well suited as club boats, but not well suited for those pursuing high performance training or racing off the Island.

It has long been my belief that Island competitors have been held back from sport level competition because of the lack of IDBF boats and the lack of access to a high performance training program.

Thankfully, Victoria’s Gorging Dragons have taken up the challenge by providing both the training and the racing hulls needed to upgrade the level of the sport here on the Island.
