Oops!!! Forgot to say, $5.00 race fee per board at StG Event.
Thanks K, R, J.

If enough boards are there, the StG Race Team will give us our own start. Otherwise we'll start with the foiling Moths. Awesome either way.

Can't wait, will be great fun, and great racing.

Madam Speaker may I thank the Honourable Forum Member for his well considered question, and I advise carefully and with equal consideration as follows:

I will certainly encourage and support our new President should he wish to advise the wonderful Mr SEABREEZE that the very large majority of our regular fleet participants would love to have that forum re-established. The, dare I say tiny minority, that were not in favour of it, and unrightfully requested its removal, should no longer be able to wield such detrimental influence.

No it appears that person would just prefer me to do that! They love to paint my posts in red - perhaps in anticipation.
However more to the task at hand:

The forecast looks very promising for a moderate to freshish wind strength, and that direction on Narra Lake will test everyone's ability to hook on and off with the rapidity of those special Narra gusts. I challenge any of you to attempt to beat the hardened Narra regulars in their own backyard. That's an apt description - cause if they don't start dredging soon you'll be able to walk across it without getting your shorts wet!

Hi Windsurfers,

Summary of the Traveller Series.

Great work by all the windsurfers who took part, great sailing by all.

Yesterday was a competitive, fun sailing day at Narrabeen Lakes, hosts this time were NL Sailing Club windsurfer fleet.
There was a warm-up race, followed by a long race to complete the series. Dave West was a stand-out for the day, with close competition throughout the 40 minute race by all. Steve Newman was showing great speed too.
We even had a new NLSC member, Thomas from the Czech Republic, who is in the NLSC Saturday morning Learn to Windsurf group, competing in only his third race. Likewise Justin F. They both did well. Big smiles all round.
Wind swung round a bit more easterly before the races. Average wind-speed and maximum varied for each of the four laps. For example 6knot average first lap, maximum 19knot gusts by lap 4. Wind steadied at a stronger level for a while after the race, just so we could say the usual things, like 'if only...'.

Well done to the Winners of the Overall Series.

First - Roger Crawford

Second - Steve Newman

Third - Dave West

Hopefully we'll get all the event results for everyone on here.

Thanks to all the Clubs which hosted the events
St George Sailing Club
Middle Harbour 16' Skiff Club

What has the racing been like at Dobroyd for the WOD Winter Series?
How's that point score looking?

[Thank you for all those red thumbs. Very negative and rather pointless don't you think?]

Can we have a bit of promotion here for the Dobroyd Winter Series? We won't get many participants if you keep it a secret! And not many of our WOD fleet have signed up to the Windsurfer OneDesign Facebook page; so if you want to get the word out - Seabreeze is currently the best option.
