Bjoern Dunkerbeck (12 times World Champion) and Steve Allen (3 times World Champion) will be at Pelican Point this afternoon for the first of the Windforce Twilight Series for the season.

This is a great opportunity to meet two windsurfing Legends.

Bjoern and Steve are currently in WA testing with the Severne design team on the all new race programme. They will bring down a couple of prototypes to talk about the race program 2010 and answer any questions you may have.

It appears that there is going to be very little wind so it may end up being a chat over a beer and pizza, with a bit of Stand Up Paddling thrown in. If the wind does pick up bring down your gear and you might get to blast with Bjorn and Steve.

Hope to see you down there this afternoon and future Wednesday through to March.

Everyone welcome, don't miss this great opportunity, see you down at Pelican Point from about 5.00pm onwards.

THE WINDFORCE

Pelican Point Summer Twilight Series

Briefing 5.20 Start 5.30pm

Windforce are organizing a Wednesday night Twilight Series again this Summer.

Why should the Yachties have all the fun?


• This is just for fun and is designed to attract sailors that want a bit of fun not for the ultra competitive.

• We will get on the water whatever the wind conditions and
try to get as many heats in as possible.
o Windy = slalom/freeride gear.
o Light = big boards.
o Super Light = Stick your rig on a SUP (Stand Up Paddle board provided)
o No Wind = SUP Race (board and paddle provided)


We will have a start sequence and a designated course to sail as per a normal race, so you can get the feel of how racing works. There will be a number of the top sailors on the water, so you can pick up a few tips. We will have a score board to record your finishing position each heat and tally the final results. The Twilight Series is great training for the real thing.

Ever tried using a GPS to record your highest speed? Windsurfing WA has six GPS units that are available to borrow, so you can see how your speed compares with other sailors. We will keep the results and see how you improve during the season

In the same way that yacht clubs attract experienced and inexperienced sailors all just wanting to have some fun we are going to do the same. Bring down some mates or come down by yourself everyone is welcome!!!

SMALL PRINT
This is not an organised race… it is a social get together that is all about being safe and having fun. Every sailor is responsible for their own safety and should only sail within their capabilities. Be aware at all times of other water users, it is YOUR responsibility to be safe on the water. By suggesting this get together we are in no way taking any responsibility for your or others safety.
