2/ When: Saturday, 8 October, registration opens at 10:00am to 11:30am, first race starts at 12:30pm

3/ Where: Woollahra Sailing Club, Vickery Avenue, Rose Bay

4/ Emphasis is on social and fun racing. The course will be simple to understand and not super long.

5/ RS:ONE and also include RS:X, racing on the same course, same races. This is the first organised RS:ONE race event in Australia and we are excited to have the opportunity for participants to try this new windsurfing one design class with all equipment provided (except harness and PFD) at a low cost.

6/ Entry fee is $35 for race management and BBQ. For RS:One this includes use of equipment. For RS:X sailors need to bring their own equipment .

7/ We will have minimum 10 charter RS:ONE packages. Since we hope for more than 10 registrations, if necessary we will split the fleet into Open and other divisions (Junior, Womens, Masters) and run the races seperately (Open RS:ONE and all RS:X at once, other RS:ONE divisions second). This will allow us to buddy up the sailors so that a sailor from Open is sharing equipment with a sailor from another division, and then rotate to run 3-5 races during the day.

8/ BBQ is included for competitors in the entry fee. The canteen/cafe will sell drinks, coffee, etc. during the day as well.

9/ Contact WSS on 99710999 or Sam Parker on 0407913394.

Sounds awesome. Will see if I can get a pass!

I'll be coming down with the kids. Looking forward to it...

I'd have loved to give it a go but working until midday tommorow!

Well, I guess I'm a little too late for this event

A little but we have a couple of demos that'll be doing the rounds over Summer. If the winds not enough for short boarding we'll put a couple of buoys out for a bit of one design match racing.

Good day on the water by the way. 11 boards got out for 3 races until the wind faded totally. The event was won by young Ben Morrell from Illawarra.

Hi Sam, I need to check this site more regularly, would have been keen to attend this. Definately next time. Awesome idea.
