See you on Wednesday,

Pelican Point Summer Twilight Series

10th and 17th of December.

14th, 21st and 28th of January.

Briefing 5.50 Start 6.00pm


We are organizing a Wednesday night twilight series during December and January. Why should the Yachties have all the fun?

* This is just for fun and is designed to attract sailors that want a bit of fun not for the ultra competitive.

* We will get on the water at 6.00 whatever the wind.
o Windy = slalom/freeride gear.
o Light = big boards.
o Super Light = Stick your rig on a SUP (Stand Up Paddle board)
o No Wind = Sup Race (board and paddle supplied)

We will be starting and will have a course to sail as per a normal race, so you can get the feel of how racing works. We will have a number of the top sailors sailing, so you can pick up a few tips and we will have a score board to put your finishing position. So it is great training for the real thing.

Ever tried using a GPS to record your highest speed? Windsurfing WA has six GPS units that are available to borrow, so you can see how your speed compares with other sailors. We will keep the results and see how you improve during the season

In the same way the yacht clubs attract experienced and experienced sailors all just wanting to have some fun we are going to do the same. Bring down some mates or come down by yourself everyone welcome

Don't forget to bring along some drinks and nibbles so we can all catch up latter for a chat. We might even organise some pizza for the first week.

SMALL PRINT
This is not an organised race. it is a social get together that is all about being safe and having fun. Every sailor is responsible for their own safety and should only sail within their capabilities. Be aware at all times of other water users, it is your responsibility to be safe on the water. By suggesting this get together we are in no way taking any responsibility for yours or others safety.
