Great vid. Sums it up, everyone concentrating hard, sailing hard, but no risk to life & limb & very, very enjoyable. Plenty of risk for the nose of my board. Shame it wasn't a bit windier for Remi & Rick to enjoy. Given there was quite a steep chop & you were doing 27kn, I don't know if they would have been in front.

Race 1 video (less exciting!).

Some more photos from my trip out. Unfortunately the Race3 video ran out of battery so I won't post it.




















































Looks pretty bleak for a Summer race series !

Friday 28th, Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th January 2022 @ Myall Lakes.

Long range forecasts are looking promising with solid North Easterlies for Friday and Saturday, easing on Sunday, so we are looking forward to getting in plenty of racing over all days of the comp.

Racing will be a variety of GPS sessions and Slalom racing (Figure of 8 or Downwind) from as soon as the wind is viable to sunset.

The event will be ran from Myall Shores Caravan Park, with day entry available if staying offsite.

Looking forward to seeing as many regulars and new comers as possible at the premier event of the NSW Calendar for a great couple of days sailing in a fantastic location.

I'm looking forward to the event! and the sealed road!
the races a few years ago were awesome!

I had some good times even though I was riding an old paddle pop iSonic 121 and a foil 8m sail on my slalom board.
I also remember a few of us foiling into sandbars. Oops.
good times. Good long nights. And good forecasts. Bring it on.

Briefing at 11am today

road is mostly sealed except last 4km to the camp site. Few potholes and lots of corrugations. My van made it!

Day 1 - good turnout and nice NE seabreeze conditions. After a 30 min GPS to warm us up, the race committee sent us into 5 rounds of slalom. Byron, Berowne and Murray on foils took the early wins, but Remi came back to take a few wins with his fin as the breeze filled in. Lots of good stories and cold drinks on the shore afterwards

Similar NE seabreeze is forecast tomorrow, day passes are available (ask nicely for a gate code at the reception/cafe).
