Thank you Ian for setting this up, I don't think that most of us realise just how lucky we are to have this available on our doorstep. Had a great time today

And if you are thinking of joining in, DO IT!! You don't need to be super fast or have the latest flash gear, it's great fun regardless

yep, definately something special happening down there on wednesdays, big thanks to Ian and Stephen from Windforce ....last chance before christmas is next wednesday then we are taking a 3 week break before firing up again for the new year.. come down on wednesday we will have WWA membership forms available too if you want to join up.

Appreciate the comments guys, it is most rewarding when we have an evenings racing as we did last Wednesday.

The good news is we have a great forecast for this evening and ... I have bought a new air horn... so that should make starts a bit easier.

This is our last twilight for 2009 then we will be back the Wednesday after Lancelin.

Results for last week are now on the website www.windforce.com.au

See you there rigged at 5.20 for briefing.

For those that can't get away early still head down and join in for the remaining heats.

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.

I guess being able to gybe consistently would help?


Or can you do one leggers for us kooks ....

Not being able to gybe stops a lot of us from participating.
