Entries nearly at 50 now, with a couple more late starters possible. Looks like we will be in for a good meeting with Friday's forecast showing 13 knots and (hopefully) increasing over the weekend. Everything seems to be in place so get ready for a great event.
Darren

It is not to late to join us in the biggest non national Blokart event held in Australia. As quoted by Darren we are at 49, with a couple more known late entry's. Over 77 for dinner night alone!! Come and be a part of a new annual Karting event for Australia. Ph Dave:0749543465 or Darren:0749521889.
We will be looking at the karters on the the other side of the ditch for the next one!!
Regards Dave Moore secetary C.Q.B.C

CQBC's first Regatta has been run and by all reports we should start booking in for the next one already.
We were blessed with clear weather and moderate winds. The company was great and the racing was very competitive and the main thing friendly.
With this race under our belt we will endeavour to run more events. The interest shown by participants will promote this regatta to a level that will make it a "must do" event. Competitor entries were in the early 50s, with over 90 at the Saturday night dinner.
Racers ended up with eleven heats each over the two days of sailing with several novices joining the more experience racers on the podium.
Thanks to all those who helped out and those who raced for making this a wonderful event.
Results and photos will be posted soon.





Thanks to all,
Darren.

More pics on the bk site - nice!

The 100km format got changed early in planning when we looked at the logistics of running it at Cape Hillsborough. We would have ended up with around 100 laps on the course we used and manual scoring would have been difficult and the track would have been chopped up after that many laps. The idea is still to run a 100km race most probably at Yeppoon with the longer beach there a better choice.
Some of the Yeppoon members are keen to get another event down there going and with what we learnt from this regatta it should make some bits easier to do.
Bucasia Beach would still be viable with 25 laps needed to cover the distances. We have done around that distance at Bucasia with social sailing in one tidal session so it is possible.
With support from keen Rockhampton/Yeppoon members Farnborough Beach is probably a better choice but be warned, it takes a lot of work.
The club will need some local info on suitable tide/wind times to start arrangements.
Let's keep the ball rolling and anything is possible.
Darren.
