Informal Race, if weather permitting.
2 formats, either race across, 9kms maximum, first to gybe, everyone else gybes at same time, and first back to where we started from.
Other format is 3 gybes, 2 out and one back, this is a bit harder, first option is easier?
Anyone wanna sponsor it? WINDWARRIOR giving away 3 prizes
All ages all standards welcome, we'll have a rescure boat available, let's make this a tradition?
Be there or be rectangular (or whatever that saying is?)
Team vs team, mate vs mate
I'll be there. You just tell me what I have to do and I'll do it - one gybe, three gybes, duck gybes - I don't care!
One suggestion - we could have a "Nautical Mile Off" - ie; everyone can have a couple of mad dashes down the famous Hardies NM and, as long as someone has a laptop at the beach, we can all plug in our GPSs and see how we went for the day. Everyone in the same place at the same time for once.
Do people still want this?
It doesn't clash with any WWA events.
WE have BBQ as well, make it a fun social day??
Anyone?
Yeah, pretty sure I will be there.
tin fruited (thanks for the phrase mineral) my GPS the other day so wont be registering any speeds
Bloody water got into the aqua pack
Anyway, should be a fun day.
I'm still there - wind permitting! Another 30 knots like yesterday would do nicely.
Have you decided on a format?

Wind looks easterly but good enough for a run, still works there.
So people wanna still be in it?
Do we need a rescue boat?
I think the format will be race out, first to gybe rest follows, then first back to where we started.
I'll come down for SURE! and I can also bring a laptop. I dont have the software, but if someone linky's me to it or brings it down on a geek stick then it'll be sweet :)
Looking at all the diferent charts, looks like an early am is the go sunday, don't know that that will suit people 8am on the water would be latest I reckon?
You may have difficulty coaxing people down to Mandurah for 8am on the promise of an easterly. Put me down for a maybe
I was thinking of coming up eary. If i hang around the house to long the missus will get me working
I will be up regardless as i need to catch up with Decrepid
Cheers
Oh and perhaps Aus1111 should be banned from using his 9m
What happened to everybody today???
Only a few Hardy souls out, dedicated enough to their craft to go out on a cold and windy day.
What a day, I'm Shagged and crabbed
It is a shame about the cancellation.
The forecast was crap, but it ended up being a good day with the wind blowing quite consistently all day.
Easterlies are normally incredibly bad, don't know what went wrong, but I'm not complaining
or make "German" gybing Compulsary
