Gday everyone,

Just a reminder that the Autumn regatta is still scheduled for this Saturday. Based on the forecast we will be racing formula in a light southerly, which is great for Marmong.

We are planning a BBQ breakfast/lunch at around 11. Look forward to seeing you there.

Cheers
James

Gday,

Whoever gave my post a red thumb, please PM me your concerns directly.

Unfortunately the rules state we have to give 3 days notice to change the date. So by the time the forecast for Sunday had looked better it was too late to change. The decision to stick with Saturday wasn't taken lightly.

As byron said, lets have a fun weekend racing Saturday then speed sailing Sunday.

Cheers
James

yeah WTF to the red thumbs mate maybe someone doesn't like formula or something. Looking at the forecast, saturday looks the more obvious choice for formula. I Know what board I'll be riding on sunday and it won't be the big JP SLW 90

The forecast last Saturday was pretty horrible but Marmong got a beautiful breeze, ideal for formula & I used 9.6 (as 11m busted). May happen again, you never ever know if you never ever go!

Gday all,

Due to lack of wind today, the autumn regatta has been postponed for three weeks. Either 6th or 7th April, with date to be confirmed the week before based on the forecast.

Thanks to nathan for a great BBQ today and see you all in three weeks.

PS there will probably be lots of people sailing tomorrow at marmong so we will probably put out a few marks and do some informal unofficial slalom racing.

On the way home from Marmong I pulled in at the Belmont slips. Must have been blowing a consistent 15-18 knts with 20+ gusts. Rigged the 11m and had a hard time of it. Came in and cranked the downhaul another 2cms (all it had left). Went back out and had a blast.
Also tried out my Garmin etrex 10 for the first time on water. Recorded a best of 41.6kph, which I think is about 22knts. Could have done better except for the chop and swell.
