They will be used with the standard board and centreboard.
Our program is aimed at getting existing young sailors involved and not beginners

Is that course change just to stop me taking the shortcut over Pelican Point?

I like having Addison in a second time, but it does mean doing a "loop" around it. That will be a challenge!

I am looking forward to it ! :-)

Yes Mark designed the change, but not to avert the rulebeaters in the fleet as you suggest. The shortcut was permitted last time you used it for first and fastest. However the real reason according to Mark, for the new course is for a fast reach from Addison across to Quarry over the sandbank avoiding the boat traffic albeit it leaves the spits to port, which is purely coincidental.

2020 Windsurfer LT Nationals Update-MBSC perspective (WA club of the LT and home of 2020 WORLDS)
Congratulations to MBSC Club member Julian Atkinson for his standout effort at the 2020 Windsurfer Nationals held at Brighton & Seacliff Yacht Club (BSYC) in Adelaide over the Australia Day Long weekend. Julian won a heat and finished up 4th in the Super Heavy Weight Division...not bad for a newcomer to the Windsurfer Class this season. Another notable result from the Adelaide Nationals was Tim Gourlay (current world champ and occasional visitor to MBSC) who took out the winners trophy in the lightweight division. Congratulations to all the Windsurfer LT sailors who made the trip to the Adelaide Nationals. It is great to see the youth who did so well in the various divisions the results speak for themselves. Also the large womens division too, such diversity. It is a really great class.

For those that don't know about the Windsurfer LT. It is based on the original Windsurfer but updated to a modern construction. Nearly all Windsurf manufacturers have agreed to promote the LT as their One Design platform for Windsurfing. In just over a year 4000 boards have been sold worldwide. Denis Jones is Head Coach at SPYC and is well known to MBSC being a long time past member and was one of the people key to the introduction of the LT to MBSC (home of the 2020 Windsurfer Worlds) along with Steve Schneider another LT enthusiast and Rear Commodore at MBSC and windsurfing since the early 1980s. Both of them are also keen foilers as are many others in the LT fleet.
