Is there any regular racing for windsurfers on the bay? I would love to get something started if there isn't. Le Mans start from the beach, around a marker or two, how hard could it be to get started?? ;)

You're on. Today from Dawsons St?

Not sure what marker we could head for though!

Anytime, anywhere! .. except today, I went off Avalon.. Really though, how many people would be keen for a regular thing?

You can count me in 7tim!

The Queenslanders do a free race series which may or may not be of interest to you, or at least, to give you some ideas or thoughts.

When I was windsurfing way back in the early 90s, there used to be a regular race from point Ormond out around a shipping marker I think it was and then back. I always got smoked because my gear was crap. Was fun though.

Keen..... If their was a few people (5+) and where members of a club that was yachting Victoria approved ( you have that silver card) we could get a club like Black Rock or Sandringham run a start for us. Or start us with the I14's / Moths / Musto's. It would be W/L racing but still fun.

Looks like there might be a light 15-18kt SW on Sunday. Any suggestions for an upwind/downwind race on the East side of the Bay?

Back in the mid 90's they used to have races on Wednesday night at Elwood. I think RPS used to run it.
